Cortelyou Road already has one of Brooklyn's best small restaurant strips, and for the Frolic it closes to traffic so everything spills into the street. Family listings describe pony rides and carnival attractions alongside the vendors, with the Victorian houses of Ditmas Park a block away. If Atlantic Antic feels too huge, this is the more neighborly Brooklyn street fair the same weekend.
What to expect
A closed stretch of Cortelyou Road with vendor tents, kids' attractions and neighborhood restaurants selling outside. Crowds are lighter than the big Downtown fairs, and it is easy to wander the side streets of Victorian Flatbush afterward.
Good to know
- B and Q trains stop at Cortelyou Rd, right on the fair
- Organized by the Flatbush Development Corporation
- Good for families with strollers compared to bigger fairs
- Walk the Victorian Flatbush blocks nearby
- Pairs with Smorgasburg Prospect Park a short ride north
