We’re very excited to announce the programming for this year’s Williamsburg Walks. Our programming partners this year include a lot of folks who have made Williamsburg Walks a success in the past along with a ton of newcomers. Which is a good thing, because we’ve also extended Williamsburg Walks’ reach this year – all the way to North 12th Street. And once you get to the end, you can keep going and check out the Renegade Craft Fair (June 11th) and the Northside Festival (June 18th)
