The Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation
has pulled out all the stops to make this year’s 30th anniversary
Atlantic Antic street fair – this Sunday, Sept. 26 – one to remember.
While the festival runs from 10 am to 6 pm along Atlantic Avenue
between Hicks Street and Fourth Avenue, the party goes on until
dawn at places like the Magnetic Field lounge between Clinton
and Court streets.
The AALDC has arranged for a main stage at Boerum Place with
a ’70s-theme lineup: Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke with his
band Critical Fuse; DJ King Pleasure; and DUMBO’s power pop band
Hello Nurse among others.
Other live music oases include Sahadi’s "Amer-Aba stage"
with returning Antic performer Eddie the Sheik and belly dancers
(pictured from last year) between Clinton and Court streets;
the rock ’n’ roll stage at Magnetic Field; a blues stage at the
Waterfront Ale House between Henry and Clinton streets; and a
kids stage at Urban Monster between Hoyt and Bond streets.
Hefty competitive eater Eric "Badlands" Booker will
return to defend his title at the Cheesecake Eating Contest at
the Downtown Atlantic restaurant between Hoyt and Bond streets.
There will also, of course, be scores of food vendors.
