Central Brooklyn Arts Culture Walk

The inaugural Central Brooklyn Arts & Culture Walk on Sunday, June 26th will start at the famed Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Arch at Grand Army Plaza and continue along the Eastern Parkway corridor from Flatbush Avenue to Washington Avenue. This route is home to the Central Brooklyn Public Library, the spectacular Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the world-famed Brooklyn Museum, and Ronald McNair Park. Presented by Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams in partnership with One Brooklyn Fund Inc., participants in the Central Brooklyn Arts & Culture Walk will actively experience the rich cultural life of Brooklyn as they view a variety of live dance, theatrical and musical performances; enjoy mouthwatering exotic dishes and treats; and engage in hands-on arts and crafts activities. Children will delight in a village created just for them, and drum sessions and an artisan pavilion will provide fun and entertainment for the entire family. This all-day, family-friendly event also will offer health screenings and much more.
