Recap: Our 4th Annual Food Festival
Thank you, community, for joining us at our fourth annual Juneteenth Food Festival.
It was a magical day of uplifting Black food and culture in the sacred space of Weeksville that keeps us rooted to our history. We ate, we danced, we laughed and we communed in a way that only we can. Thank you for showing up, showing out, and supporting Brooklyn’s Black owned businesses.
Extending a huge thank you our partner Black-Owned Brooklyn and to all the Black businesses, artists and performers who lent their talents to the festival.
Black Visionaries: Weeksville Then and Now
With great pride, we present the visionary work of Nona Hendryx, acclaimed as Weeksville’s 2025 Artist in Residence, and the esteemed Dream Machine Studio team, as they unveil the remarkable mural, “Black Visionaries: Weeksville Then and Now.”
“Black Visionaries: Weeksville Then and Now” stands as a transformative music-infused, mixed-reality masterpiece. It intricately weaves together themes such as Weeksville’s identity as an oasis, a beacon of Black self-determination, a hub of creativity, and a symbol of profound connection to the land.
