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.
Weeksville Watch Night: Black Stories, Unbound
Weeksville Heritage Center presents Weeksville Watch Night: Black Stories, Unbound, a free evening of film and conversation.
Curated by DeShuna Elisa Spencer of the Black Indie Creatives Coalition (BICC) and kweliTV, the program brings together four short films across thriller, documentary, romance and experimental film, followed by a 30-minute fireside conversation.
Weeksville Watch Night: TRUE NORTH
Join us on Thursday, November 12, for a free screening and discussion of TRUE NORTH, with director Michèle Stephenson.
