Brooklyn Twilight Festival is back this year on November 16. This year’s festival will feature over 60 stalls including food, crafts, and community groups, as well as performers both local and national. 

After an amazing first year back with over 5,000 in attendance, the festival has moved a little earlier this year to 2-9pm. Harrison Street and the grounds of Brooklyn Community Centre will once again play host. Face painting, bouncy castles, community performances, amazing food, and tasty beers and wines will be just a few of the amazing things on offer.
