Recap: Our 4th Annual Food Festival
Thank you, community, for joining us at our fourth annual Juneteenth Food Festival.
It was a magical day of uplifting Black food and culture in the sacred space of Weeksville that keeps us rooted to our history. We ate, we danced, we laughed and we communed in a way that only we can. Thank you for showing up, showing out, and supporting Brooklyn’s Black owned businesses.
Extending a huge thank you our partner Black-Owned Brooklyn and to all the Black businesses, artists and performers who lent their talents to the festival.

Black Queer Legacies from Harlem to Weeksville
Join us on Saturday, February 28th for a two-part public program exploring the vibrant intersections of Black queer history, public art, migration, and community memory.
Inspired by The Gay Harlem Renaissance exhibition (currently on view at The New York Historical) and the restored Exodus and Dance frieze by artist Richmond Barthé in Weeksville, we’ll trace the creative and cultural lineages that connect Harlem’s early 20th-century queer artists to the living histories of present-day Brooklyn.
