Brooklyn’s International Day of Friendship

On Sunday, August 5th, Borough President Adams will host an “International Day of Friendship” celebration in Brooklyn, his fifth annual festival recognizing the cultures and ethnicities that make Brooklyn an unparalleled center of diversity.

The day will consist of a series of cultural identity-oriented festivities beginning at 1:00 PM with a Unity Parade of Flags, featuring the flags of 195 nations marching down Fulton Street from its intersection with Flatbush Avenue toward Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Following the parade, which will include New Yorkers from more than 80 countries as well as dancers, drummers, and stilt walkers, the festivities at Brooklyn Borough Hall and Columbus Park will feature a series of artistic and cultural performances from a wide variety of groups represented in the borough, as well as a taste of ethnic cuisine from an array of local food trucks.

The celebration will also present a Global Village, including tents from countries showcasing their cultures, cuisines, and customs. Visitors will be able to have an interactive experience in each of these tents to feel, hear, and see unique cultural artifacts and stories.

Come out and enjoy the fun on Sunday, August 5th for a day of culture, cuisine, and much more!
