Atlantic Antic will transform 10 blocks of Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue into a huge street festival on Sunday, October 4 between 10am-6pm. Spanning from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue, passing through Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn, the Atlantic Antic is one of the largest street fairs in the country. There will be something for everyone: shopping, food, live performances, free demos, celebrity sightings, games, belly dancing, drinking, and tours of the Brooklyn Bridge Park.

We are planning to be at these events as part of the Atlantic Antic:
1) Tour The new Brooklyn Bridge Park with Regina Myers

Regina Myer has joined forces with Moxie Spot, Karen Auster of the Atlantic Antic Street Fair and One Brooklyn Bridge Park to offer “Hard Hat Construction Tours” of Pier 6, including the children’s playground in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy and the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation will swing open the gate at Pier 6 to give Atlantic Antic visitors a special sneak peek of the 1.5 acre playground. See how Slide Mountain and Swing Valley are taking shape and get a glimpse of the sandbox and water play area under construction. Set to open in early 2010. Tours will leave every half hour from Noon to 3:30pm. Meet at The Moxie Spot, 81 Atlanic Avenue at Hicks Street. Remember to wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, (FREE)

2) Sixpoint Craft Ales Pub Crawl

One of our favorite beers, Brooklyn’s own Sixpoint Craft Ales is hosting the “Sixpoint Atlantic Antic Pub Crawl,” featuring the fourth incarnation of the Atlantic Antic Amber, which is only available for one day – Sunday, October 4th – at 7 bars pouring a variety of their beers. They will also have a booth set up between Court Street and Clinton Street.
3) GUMBO at 493 Atlantic Avenue
Stop by at GUMBO at 493 Atlantic Avenue to see some music and performances. Our friends at A Child Grows in Brooklyn will be there to hand out balloons for your kids.
