Taste of Fort Greene/Clinton Hill on Saturday

Local school Urban Assembly Academy of Arts & Letters invites the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill community to celebrate the end of a fantastic school year with them at their first annual SummerFest, this Saturday, June 21st from 12:00 to 3:00!

Join them in the schoolyard (225 Adelphi Street) for the festivities, including: - student performances and exhibitions - games for all ages - face painting - arts & crafts

SummerFest will be a party for the palate too, with a “Taste of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill” that includes delectable treats from local faves Bacchus, Chez Lola, Chez Oscar, Habana Outpost, Graziella’s, and Little House on Clinton.

The event is open to the public, so bring your family and friends, and spread the word! This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know one of our own neighborhood schools, to support their efforts to build community, and to celebrate the achievements of local youth! Opened in September 2006, Arts & Letters embraces the philosophy that in the best upper grades schools, students are transformed from children who have benefited from a general education to young men and women who have discovered their unique gifts and are prepared to put them to use in the world. Through rigorous academic study, extended projects in the “real” world, and a sharp focus on the creative communication strategies students need to succeed in college and in life, they will graduate tomorrow’s “ones to watch,” individuals who communicate and lead with courage, confidence, creativity, and clarity.

Hope to see you there!
