Summer Space 2009

Welcome to Summer Space

On September 9th and 23rd, Montague Street welcomes visitors to Summer Space – two days of FREE, outdoor events, including the Brooklyn Heights Dog Show, live music and dance performances, fitness classes, activities for the entire family, food samples from local restaurants, and special store promotions.

Closed to traffic and re-imagined as a pedestrian oasis, Summer Space is held on Montague Street between Clinton and Hicks Streets from 12 PM – 5 PM.

Be sure to visit the Summer Space information table in front of St. Ann's Church (157 Montague Street) on both dates for a schedule of events.
