Atlantic Antic returns to Atlantic Ave Sunday 10/5
Josh Guttman | October 3, 2008
This Sunday, our neighborhood’s famed main street extravaganza – The Atlantic Antic – returns.
“Spanning 10 blocks of Atlantic Avenue, from 4th Avenue in Boerum Hill all the way to Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights, the Atlantic Antic is New York’s number one street festival, offering something for everyone!”
The festival is known for its eclectic delicacies, with an exciting array of foods from around the world, representing the shops that line the thoroughfare from baklava and funnel cake, to grilled sardines and pulled pork sandwiches, to street fair favorites like fresh lemonade, fried mozzarella, and roasted corn. This year, the Atlantic Ave Local Development Corp released this 2008 Food Map detailing the varieties so we can all be super-efficient in getting our munchies on.
Ten live musical stages will offer free performances all day, featuring blues, rock, country, R&B, jazz, music for kids, and belly-dancing. As always, Atlantic Avenue’s trendy restaurants and boutiques along with a host of local vendors, craftspeople, and nonprofits offer a hodgepodge of one-of-a-kind merchandise (as the local restaurants and boutiques continue to improve, so does the festival).
There will also be pony rides, face painting, balloon sculptures, live storytelling, and more for kids and families!
