The Atlantic Antic, Brooklyn's largest street fair, stretches along Atlantic Avenue from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue. This Sunday (the 26th) will be the 36th year of the event. Some photos in our collection show the table that BHS had at the Antic in 1977 - the fourth year of the fair. BHS was still called the Long Island Historical Society, because we didn't change our name until the mid-1980s.
Our display that year was in front of the old Independence Savings Bank building, which is now Trader Joe's.
These days, the event draws crowds of more than a million people, with all kinds of food, music, and activities. BHS will be at the Atlantic Antic again this year, so be sure to come to our table and say hi on Sunday! We'll be between Court and Clinton Streets, near A Cook's Companion.
