Fiddlers and pickers parade down Flatbush Avenue playing old-time tunes while flatfooting, a form of percussive dancing from Appalachia.

The program begins with a warm up and quick flatfooting workshop hosted by Megan Downes and City Stompers (outdoors at 2pm on Flatbush Avenue and Carlton - NE corner of intersection at the subway entrance). Immediately following, the flatfooting parade heads north along the avenue, stopping along the way at local businesses to bring solstice cheer.

The parade finishes at the 6th Avenue Triangle (intersection of Flatbush, 6th, and St Marks Avenues), with percussive dance performances of multiple cultures, including a rendition of the mystical Abbots Bromley Horn Dance by Ring o'Bells Morris and Half Moon Sword, a longsword dance from Northern England traditionally done on the shortest day to mark the birth of a new year, and participatory group dances led by Brooklyn Contra and the City Stompers.

Starting at 5:30pm, the fun continues at an indoor after-party at Lips@33 (333 Flatbush Ave) featuring more music and dance, and an open jam lead by the Flatfoot Flatbush Band. The after party doubles as the North Flatbush Avenue BID merchant holiday party, and brings together businesses in the district to share in holiday cheer.
