Smith Street Funday Sunday Smith Street

Sunday, June 23 2013

11 am to 6pm

Tired of the same old, same old Street Fairs? Ours is really different. You will find great vibes, smiling faces, and lots of unique and beautiful things you will really want to buy and take home,. The crafters and independent designers call our event a “show”. In their parlance that is a huge compliment. No tube socks, no sheet sets ..we promise, you will not be disappointed. What you will see is the perfect mix of indulgences and creativity.

And the food … Smith Street is well known as a ”foodie” street with over 70 places to dine & drink. Arrive hungry!! What more can we say.

Our local neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Gowanus are filled with talented people. Many of those who are musically inclined will be entertaining you along the way - Tony’s Hardware will have their famous Salsa Band, Mingo of the Musicians General Store is having a stage and , BOCOCA Arts will be at Ceol Pub, Angry Wades will have its mix of favorites and Union Grounds is joining the list with their own repertoire of music and fun.

So spend some time with us from noon to 6PM and see how these Brooklyn neighborhoods can still “Do it Right”!!! 8 blocks on Smith Street from Bergen to Union.

Smith Street Fun Fair 2010 Was Quite A Party

I love street fairs. They are such an integral part of summers in the city. So on Sunday after the Germany/ England soccer game, I checked out the Smith Street Funday Fair. Yes, the heat was stifling, the crowd thick, but the atmosphere was super.

Not only did I run into lots of friends and acquaintances, I had fun browsing the many stalls of merchandize. Music, food, hats, beads, baskets, pottery, cool tees, yarn...I was happy.

Were you there as well, dear Reader?

Smith Street FunDay Sunday Fair 2009

THE LITTLE STREET THAT COULD DOES IT AGAIN!!
Smith Street Funday

Sunday June 28th from 11AM to 6PM

Smith Street’s Annual Festival is not just coordinated – it is ”curated”. We start with a street full of special shops with an eclectic variety of things you will want to wear, consume, eat, or otherwise enjoy – and to that we add our BOCOCA neighborhood art and craft talent, interests and collections, plus the independent designers, the joie de vivre and only the finest region-wide assortment of vendors of merchandise you will really want to bring home.

We are eight blocks long – deliberately not the longest or the biggest because we aim to bring you quality in Brooklyn’ most exotically perfect bazaar!! We also aim to bring you fun – with lots of music and entertainment. For example – both Tony’s Hardware and the Salsa Salon will have live Latin Bands and attract some great dancers. Angry Wade’s, Ceol and Rocketship will also all give lots of local bands and talent a chance to show off all day long.

And of course we will have “Stinkfest” once again in front of Smith & Vine sponsored by the wine shop and its sister and brother shops – “Stinky Brooklyn” the cheese and gourmet shop, and “The Jakewalk” Bar & Snacks venue. They are sponsoring a full day of entertainment on a stage, surrounded by tables and seating and a gourmet street food menu:. From 11-1 PM great children’s entertainment., Music from 1-2PM At 2PM NYC’s One and Only Third Annual Cheese Eating Contest 3- 5:30PM Music returns with a variety of great local talent.

Stroll, shop, and sample along Smith Street from Bergen to Union Streets.
