What To Look For At The Atlantic Antic This Sunday, September 28

One of the biggest street fairs in New York City, the 40th annual Atlantic Antic is taking place this Sunday, September 28 from 12-6pm. It runs rain or shine along Atlantic Avenue from 4th Avenue to Hicks Street. Expect live music, tons of stuff for the kids, and more than 500 booths to check out for shopping and eating.

Here are some things to look out for:

• The New York Transit Museum lets you check out some vintage buses for free on Boerum Place between Atlantic and State Streets from 11am-6pm, and then head to the museum a block away where admission is just $1 until 5pm.

• Get fitted for a free bike helmet on the southwest corner of Atlantic and Nevins, thanks to the Department of Transportation and Council Member Stephen Levin, 12-3:30pm while supplies last.

• The Brooklyn Ballet will present a special dance piece during the welcome ceremony on the main stage (corner of Atlantic and Clinton) at 2pm.

• Bring the kids to the block between Boerum and Smith where there will be several bounce houses, face painting, carnival rides, and pony rides.

• As for music for the kids, that stage is between Nevins and 3rd Ave, and there’s a storytime at noon, followed by a number of cool live acts through 5pm.

• The Brazen Head (228 Atlantic Ave) is featuring $5 pints of local brews in an outdoor beer garden, with live music from The Dysfunctional Family Jazz Band.

• But that’s not all! Be sure to check out all the bands playing throughout the afternoon.
