The Flatbush Frolic Is This Sunday!

Are you ready for a party?

The Flatbush Development Corporation (FDC) is holding its 41st annual Flatbush Frolic street fair this Sunday, September 25th, from 11am to 6pm. The festivities will stretch along Cortelyou Road, from Ocean Avenue to Coney Island Avenue.

This year’s Frolic will feature food, dance, live music, a pizza eating contest, craft fair, children’s area, main stage, beer garden, a not-for-profit area, local businesses and more!

The FDC has put out a special call for local vendors and local musicians to get involved. In response to our area’s growing artistic community, the Frolic’s craft fair will be “specifically for local handmade arts and crafts, nothing mass produced or imported.”

The Flatbush Tenant Coalition — just one of many participants at the Frolic — will have a table on Cortelyou Road between Argyle and Rugby Roads (by the public library and tot lot). The Coalition will be selling food to raise money for their work “building tenant power!! The menu includes stewed chicken, jerk chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, baked & fried fish, flautas, mac & cheese, salad, rice & peas, and YUMMY deserts.”

The FDC says that the Frolic has “grown into one of New York City’s premiere street fairs, attracting over 20,000 visitors and over 150 vendors from all over Brooklyn.”

See you on Sunday!
