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.
