FAB ON FIFTH

The Fabulous Fifth Avenue Fair returns to Park Slope on Sunday, May 15.

From 11 am to 6 pm, you can saunter up and down Fifth Avenue - between Sterling Place and 12th Street - to shop for crafts, apparel, gifts or to enjoy al fresco dining, kiddy rides and live music.

"Unlike similar events, the Fabulous Fifth Avenue Fair focuses especially on local artists, craftspeople, performers and restaurants," says Judi Pheiffer of Bob & Judi’s Coolectibles and president of the Park Slope Fifth Avenue Merchant Association. "We also offer a wide variety of fun aimed particularly at families and children."

Among the musicians performing on the Park Slope Reader Stage (between Carroll and President streets) is singer-guitarist Jessica Star (pictured) at 3:45 pm.

Additional stages will be set up at The Gate (at the corner of Third Street) and at Southpaw (between St. Johns and Sterling places), where DJ Johnny Real will kick off the festivities at noon. Also on Southpaw’s stage, Baba Israel will perform live between 1 pm and 4:30 pm, with DJ Kool Kear and special guests.

And, of course, there are all of the many "fabulous," tempting boutiques on this stretch of Fifth Avenue - the hosts of the fair - which are delicious entertainment in their own right.

The fair will be held rain or shine.
