Atlantic Antic Block Party Is Back: What You Need To Know

COBBLE HILL, BROOKLYN — The borough's oldest block party will be back for its 45th year on Atlantic Avenue this Sunday.

Atlantic Antic, set up between Hicks Street and Fourth Avenue, will bring its annual line-up of music, games, food and more to the corridor on Sunday, Sep. 29.

This year's block-partiers can enjoy everything from performances by local Brooklyn students, traditional Yemeni dancers and an internationally-known DJ, to gator-roasts and a meditative garden. The street event will also feature its normal line-up of kids' activities, including pony rides, bouncy houses and more.

Here's everything you need to know to join in the fun — or avoid the traffic to get to your own Sunday plans:

Where: The festivities will be set up on Atlantic Avenue from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue. The corridor will be closed off to traffic during the block party. Here's where you can find a map.

When: The party will go from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine on Sunday, Sep. 29. Things will kick off at noon with a performance from the Amber-Aba orchestra featuring belly dancers.

How: To get to the party, Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center is the closest subway station on the street fair's eastern end, which means a 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q or R train will get you where you need to go.

The Jay Street-MetroTech station is also within walking distance of Atlantic Avenue, so you can also take the A, C or F train.
