Move About Myrtle Starts September 5th
Are you ready to Move About Myrtle? Here at Green in BKLYN, we are!
The Avenue is kicking it off on September 5th with a “Back to School Celebration”! Stop by for a day of fun & games before heading back to hit the books or for a last summer hurrah! The first Sunday is jam-packed with free activities, music & merchant specials with more every week. Some activities for the whole family include:
- Facepainting, street games, hula hoops & chalking
- Cooking demos & tastings
- Yoga & dance classes on the street
- Live mural making
- Dance party with Soul Summit
For a block-by-block summary of activities for September 5th check out Myrtle Avenue’s website & Green in BKLYN’s blog.
In addition, there’s a new contest this year on the Avenue. A lucky winner will be selected each week to receive $100 in Myrtle Avenue gift certificates! You can pick up your Explore Myrtle Avenue game cards at every Sunday event (at MARP’s table between Washington & Hall) & enter for your chance to win a Myrtle shopping spree later in the fall!
