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 1pm). 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.

Starting at 4:30pm, the fun continues at an indoor after-party featuring more music and dance, and an open music jam led by the Flatfoot Flatbush Band. The after party doubles as the North Flatbush Avenue BID member holiday party, and will bring together businesses and neighbors in the district to share in holiday cheer.
