Atlantic Antic 2023

The Atlantic Antic Festival presented by Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation (AALDC) is Brooklyn’s oldest and largest street festival spans 10 blocks through the heart of Brooklyn, passing through the neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, and Downtown Brooklyn.

For 48 years, Atlantic Avenue businesses and vendors from NYC and beyond have electrified the street with something for everyone including food, clothing, crafts, jewelry, and more. Attendees can stroll the avenue with friends and families to enjoy their favorite foods such as BBQ, Asian buns, street corn, crepes, lemonade, and fried ice cream!
