Sunset Park's 5th Avenue Street Festival is Just One Week Away

SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN — The Sunset Park Business Improvement District will be hosting its annual 5th Avenue Street Festival on Sep. 18, and there's still time for vendors to sign up to participate.

The festival, started in 1999, will run from 44th Street to 59th Street on 5th Avenue, and will take place between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The BID estimates that 50,000 people will attend the event, where local businesses will be selling food and numerous other goods. Two stages — one at 44th Street and the second at 54th Street — will feature live entertainment, while kids can enjoy inflatable rides that will fill an entire block.

Applications are available online for general vendors, food vendors, and BID members. The application deadline was technically Sep. 9, but applications will still be accepted afterward.

You can turn in an application this weekend to the BID office — located at 5116A 5th Ave., suite 200 — between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Applications will also be accepted next week, but there will be an additional $50 late fee applied.

If you have questions, the BID can be reached by calling 718-439-7767.
