“I am thrilled to share the Festival again this year with the community and Brooklyn’s many visitors,” said Edmon Brathwaite, the festival’s creator. Brathwaite last held the event in conjunction with community businesses and leaders at Restoration Plaza in Bedford-Stuyvesant.  After amazing feedback and successful turnouts, he decided to make it even bigger this year at Brooklyn Industrial, just blocks away.

A portion of the proceeds from the festival will benefit The Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger and Breaking the Bonds (Jericho Road Inc.). Guests may purchase tickets and view the latest festival additions, schedules and more by visiting www.toastofbrooklyn.com. Tickets may also be purchased onsite at Amalgamated Bank located at 1212 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216.
