Annual Art Festival

Our annual art festival exposes diverse audiences of all ages to culturally diverse performing and visual arts. This is a great medium to give local and established artists a chance to share their passion and expand their visibility and following in our Long Island communities. This year, our gathering will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 30th, on Suffolk Avenue in downtown Brentwood, beginning at the Brentwood Road/Washington Avenue intersection.  Last year's Brentwood Cultural Street Festival attracted an audience of many thousands, as should this year's Festival with its very powerful activities, including the following stage schedule:  
    11:30-12:15 TRACY HAMILTON DRUM CIRCLE for adults and kids ... bring your own drums/other
