Brooklyn Fam's 2023 theme is multi-sensory storytelling for transformative healing, with a vibrant, truly unique celebration of West African, Jewish, and Arab cultures.

On adjoining lawns, participate in a Community Circle of Jewish niggunim improvisational singing, West African drumming, and conversations facilitated by the Interfaith Center of New York.

Make your mark on a new, beautiful public art project titled Let the Sun Shine In, and stop by storytelling art-making stations with community partners that include the Jewish Children’s Museum, Arab American Association of NY, and Kente Fest NY.
