On Tuesday, August 7th neighborhoods across the country will rally to celebrate The National Night Out Against Crime.
This year the 71st Precinct will hold the festivities for PLG on Maple Street between Bedford and Rogers from 4pm until 8pm. There will be free food, refreshments, and rides for all. In the past these events have been a lot of fun for Prospect Lefferts Gardens residents and children.
GO is a community-curated open studio project.
On September 8–9, 2012, artists across Brooklyn will open their studio doors, so that you can vote for artists who will be featured in an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.
24 Artists in PLG have registered for this event. What they need now are voters to help them win a place in the Brooklyn Museum show. Support your local artists and participate in the voting process. You can register now at the GO website. The artists will open their studios on the weekend of September 8-9, 2012 for the GO Studio Weekend.
The Flatbush Empire Parkside Merchants Association is holding their 17th annual Flatbush Street Fair this Sunday, August 5th, 2012 from 10am to 5pm. There will be music, games, and fun for the entire family.
