On Saturdays this fall, 5th Avenue in Park Slope turns into a pedestrian promenade lined with restaurant seating and shops, and this weekend's theme stacks up nicely: the Super Stoop sale fills the side streets with bargains while Brooklyn Acting Lab presents Shrek. If you live nearby or want a car-free stroll with kids, plan an afternoon along Fifth.
What to expect
Expect a long car-free stretch of 5th Avenue with families, strollers and outdoor dining, plus pop-up programming at points along the route. Organizers note programming is weather-permitting and can change, and updates are posted to the group's Instagram.
Good to know
- All programming is weather-permitting and subject to change; check @parkslopeopenstreets on Instagram.
- The R to Union St or 9 St, or the F/G to 7 Av, reach the route.
- Drivers should expect 5th Avenue to be closed between Union and 4th Streets.
- Combine with the Super Stoop sale on nearby blocks.
