“This weekend, we brought the heart of Williamsburg to the streets of Graham Avenue. A huge thanks to our small businesses, vendors, corporate sponsors, and the families who made our 20th Annual Graham Avenue Fiesta an unforgettable event. Your energy, your passion, your love for this community — that’s what we’re here to celebrate – commerce, community, and culture,” said Graham Avenue BID on Instagram.
