5:We have Prospect Park where it’s 526 acres large. It is famous for its history but also known for picnicking , walking, biking, etc. If you love being in nature and want to feel energized, Prospect Park is the place to be! It has lots of walking and biking paths that go all around the park. You can take a calm walk or go for a fast run on these paths.
As you explore, you'll see amazing sights like peaceful forests, little streams that twist and turn, and colorful gardens full of beautiful flowers. It's like a big adventure where you can breathe in fresh air and feel the freedom of the wide-open spaces! Prospect Park also hosts lots of free events that you should check out including concerts, plays, exercise classes like yoga and zumba, movies, and art installations.
4:Smorgasburg is an open air-market where small businesses and farms come to Williamsburg, right here in Brooklyn. Smorgasburg is a must-go for this summer if you are interested in culinary arts and learning about different cultures. It's not just about the food at Smorgasburg; it's also a vibrant gathering place where people can come together to enjoy delicious meals, discover new flavors, and experience the food scene. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, with music playing and a large crowd of food lovers. You will love it, so make sure to check it out!
3:Farmers’ Market is a pop-up market where small business farmers come to Prospect park, Brooklyn and sell organic foods, drinks, crafts, natural skincare and haircare products and much more! This happens every weekend at many locations including right here in Park Circle and Grand Army Plaza. Union Square, Central Park, and more places all over NYC also host farmers’ markets.. The best part about this is, you don’t have to buy anything, enjoy the stroll through the
bazaar, where many stalls will happily share samples of their products for you to try.
2:DUMBO Drop is an event that happens once every year in Brooklyn by Franklin Ave and is a fundraiser to raise money for schools with low pay income and with not enough supplies to provide for students. This event includes throwing elephants into the air with mini parachutes and people catching them, this is a free event as well.
1:Bush Terminal is a beautiful park with many places to take pictures in and to hang out with your friends. It is one of the newer green spaces in Brooklyn that are free for the public. You can hike, bike, picnic, or play ball games, all while enjoying the scenic water view that Bush Terminal overlooks. In fact, many of our soccer games took place in this spot. Check it out this summer!
