Atlantic Antic 2026

About this event

Brooklyn's biggest and oldest street festival returns for its 51st year on Sunday, September 27, 2026 from noon to 6 PM, rain or shine. Produced by the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation, the Atlantic Antic takes over roughly 10 blocks of Atlantic Avenue between Hicks Street and Fourth Avenue with live music on multiple stages, more than 80 food vendors, 130-plus local merchants and craft sellers, and vintage and handmade goods. Families get three dedicated kids' areas: Mommy Poppins' free Kid Fest at Henry Street, PLAYTOPIA by Brooklyn Bridge Parents at Boerum Place, and the longtime Kids Zone with bounce houses, pony rides and face painting. The second annual "Antic Sing!" competition takes the Maimonides Medical Center Community Stage at Third Avenue from 2 to 2:45 PM with cash prizes. Admission is free — food, drinks and shopping are not. Take the 2/3 to Hoyt Street, the A/C/G to Hoyt-Schermerhorn or the 2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R to Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center.
