The Fabulous Fifth Avenue Fair

We wouldn't normally announce a BID event two months in advance, but since we learned this week that the Great Googa Mooga food and music festival will be taking place in Prospect Park during the same weekend as the fair for the second year in a row, we thought we'd let you know:

The Fabulous Fifth Avenue Fair

Sunday, May 19 from 12 PM to 5 PM

 

12 Street to Sterling Place on Fifth
