During the four Sundays of September, Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn and DOT’s Weekend Walks Initiative will be sponsoring events from noon to 6pm for the second annual “Move About Myrtle." All are welcome to join in the line-up of events that will be held in the seven block stretch of the Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Bedstuy areas.

Surrounding roads will be closed from traffic and open for pedestrian space during the September events. There will be free yoga and dance classes provided by Move with Grace Studio, cooking activities, raffle prizes, children’s activities, and even a roller rink!

There is something offered for every member of the family, so be sure to drop by and meet other members of the community.

Here’s a sneak peek for what’s to come in the following Sundays:

September 5th: Back-to-School celebration with activities for the whole family

September 12th: Brooklyn Food Coalition’s GRUB FEST featuring the biggest potluck ever, a Mac & Cheese contest, and fun for foodies of all ages

September 19th: “The Case of the Curious Pedestrian” will offer playful public art installations, performances and surprises on all five blocks…and the FDNY Smoke House

September 26th: It’s Bicycle Day and the 2nd Annual Tree Giveaway
