Week two of Williamsburg Walks promises some sun, so come out and enjoy Bedford Avenue as a public pedestrian space. Once again, we have a slew of great programmers lined up (see below), including NYC DOT, who will be giving away bike helmets from noon to 3 p.m. and Bike NY, who will be teaching kids how to ride bicylces. Both events will be happening at North 11th Street. To the south, our kids block will be in full swing, with gymnastic performances, a drum circle, kids crafts and tattoos and much, much more.
So stop by on your way to Smorgasburg, Northside Open Studios and the Northside Festival.
When: Saturday June 18th
Time: 2:00 to 8:00
Where: Bedford Avenue, from North 4th Street to McCarren Park
