Scenes From The 2014 Flatbush Frolic

Thousands of people filled Cortelyou Road Sunday for the 2014 Flatbush Frolic, which was hosted by the Flatbush Development Corporation and drew a jubilant and diverse crowd of people from throughout the community – and beyond – to enjoy the vendors, incredible food options, music, and more.

Here are some of our photos, and neighbors’ photos, from the Frolic – if you have any you’d like to add, send them to us at editor@ditmasparkcorner.com and we’ll add them to this post!

Latin Fever got the crowd smiling with their dance moves.

Auria, from Auria’s Malaysian Kitchen, smiles as she prepares some of her dishes that attracted many a fan during the fair.
