The Atlantic Antic™ 50th Anniversary

Join us for our Golden Anniversary on October 5, 2025!

 

Brooklyn, New York- August 5, 2025- It’s big. It’s bold. It’s back and it’s turning 50! Join the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation (AALDC) as we celebrate five incredible decades of food, music, community, and culture at the Atlantic Antic™ on Sunday, October 5, 2025 from 12-6 pm.

 

Over one mile of food, crafts, and fun from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue.

 

Stretching across ten bustling blocks of Brooklyn, the Atlantic Antic™ 50th Anniversary will have over 300 vendors, live performances, local eats, vintage finds, handmade goods, and more surprises than ever before. This is why we are Brooklyn’s oldest and largest street festival!

 

The AALDC, founded in 1974, was established by a group of local shop owners and community members who believed that supporting small businesses helps build a stronger neighborhood. Now, 50 years later, the message is still the same.

 

On Sunday, October 5, the AALDC will highlight long-standing local merchants who have helped to shape the event since the beginning. Keep an eye out for special “Legacy Balloons” that will celebrate the businesses that have called the avenue home for over 25 years. Visitors are encouraged to explore the history of Atlantic Avenue and all the shops from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue.

 

Highlights of the 50th Anniversary Celebration?

• An ode to the 1970s, featuring a singing competition, a ‘70s fashion show, a dance party, and a chance to win a cash prize for best ‘70s outfit. 

• Vintage Collectable Atlantic Antic™ shirts and new designs will be on sale at the AALDC booths near Clinton Street and Third Avenue.

 

Vendor applications are open and available on https://www.atlanticave.org/atlanticantic
