What is FABfest?

FABfest is a new kind of street fair in Fort Greene, hosted by our new BID, the FAB (Fulton Area Business) Alliance!

Fulton Street from Fowler Square to South Oxford will be closed to traffic each Sunday in June, as we celebrate local Brooklyn businesses, arts groups and cultural organizations with music, food, games, dance parties, environmental demonstrations, crafts and activities for children, and more. Each day kicks off with a salsa dance party at 12 noon and the fun continues until 6:00pm, rain or shine!

Greenlight is delighted to be involved in FABfest, with events on the street and in the store each Sunday in June. Click any of the links below to go to our Facebook event page for more information about Greenlight's FABfest programming, or stop by the store to pick up a flyer about FABfest. (There will be more authors and activities added, so check back on Facebook for updates.) And visit FAB Fulton on Facebook for more about all the great stuff going on at FABfest. See you out in the street!
