What is OB StreetFest?

OB StreetFest is a celebration of the people, places, and spaces of the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. We want to showcase all that Old Brooklyn has to offer! This free-to-attend event on Broadview Road will transform a part of our neighborhood into a lively and welcoming place for the community to gather around live music, good food, a beer garden, local vendors, family-friendly activities, and more!

OB StreetFest also kicks-off Old Brooklyn CDCs 50th Anniversary celebrations! Over the next year, OBCDC is celebrating our commitment to Old Brooklyn and OB StreetFest is just the beginning!
