Street fairs are a sign spring is in full swing. For twenty years the Graham Avenue BID has organized an eight-block block party that salutes the cultures of its community with music and food, offers information on area services, and provides a boon to local businesses.

This year the Graham Avenue Fiesta turns 21. Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  The Fiesta spans Graham Avenue from Boerum Street to Broadway.

Prepare to be entertained by live music and Skyz the Limit circus acts.  Bring an appetite and shop ‘til you drop.  Come with friends and family or go solo to build memories.

Graham Avenue is still one of the most affordable places to shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and it has managed to keep its no-nonsense charm. It’s a touchstone to the down-to-earth Brooklyn authenticity that made Brooklyn go viral.
