Brooklyn Mela 2013 Is On Coney Island Avenue On Sunday

The annual Brooklyn Mela, which celebrates Pakistani Independence Day, is taking place tomorrow, Sunday, August 18 on Coney Island Avenue around Avenue H. Take a walk down the street, parts of which which will be closed to traffic, to shop, eat, hear some live music, and more.

The city doesn’t have much info available about which roads will be shut down, though we saw police barricades waiting to be used as far north as Foster Avenue. According to the MTA, the B68 bus will be rerouted to Ocean Parkway between Avenue I and Newkirk Ave, making coordinating stops there from 9am to 6pm. The B8 bus will also be rerouted off of Foster Ave, making stops on Ditmas Ave instead. It might be best to avoid driving in the area if you can.
