Recap: Our 4th Annual Food Festival
Thank you, community, for joining us at our fourth annual Juneteenth Food Festival.
It was a magical day of uplifting Black food and culture in the sacred space of Weeksville that keeps us rooted to our history. We ate, we danced, we laughed and we communed in a way that only we can. Thank you for showing up, showing out, and supporting Brooklyn’s Black owned businesses.
Extending a huge thank you our partner Black-Owned Brooklyn and to all the Black businesses, artists and performers who lent their talents to the festival.
Peace in Destruction: Art from Rikers Island (Opening Reception)
Join us for the opening reception of Peace in Destruction: Art from Rikers Island, presented by Groundswell at Weeksville Heritage Center.
THE WAITING ROOM: Endometriosis, Body Autonomy & Collective Care
Centering endometriosis education, body autonomy, and our collective responsibility to care for one another, The Waiting Room gathers us to honor the knowledge carried in our bodies and consider what we can build, demand, and practice while we wait for science, health insurance, and government policy to catch up with our lived realities.
Weeksville Green: Farmers & Community Market 2026
Weeksville Green Market returns on October 24th, from 12 to 5 PM.
We’re excited to bring back a full lineup of local businesses and workshops hosted by community leaders, activists, and artists around the preservation of Black foodways and our environment.
