Join Us On Thursday, August 21stFor AFJ’s “Summer on the Avenue” Street Fair

Avenues for Justice (AFJ) is hosting a “Summer on the Avenue Street Fair on Thursday, August 21st at 1 PM outside of our flagship Lower East Side community center on Avenue B, co-named Avenues for Justice Way, in partnership with Assembly Member Harvey Epstein and District 74.

“We are excited to bring an event to our Lower East Side community that is a clear reflection of who we are and what we believe in. It’s a space for our young people and their families to feel seen, celebrated, and supported—and for the city to experience the strength and creativity that always has, and will continue to live in this community every day.”  ~AFJ’s Executive Director, Liz Frederick

Summer on the Avenue is more than a Street Fair. It's an activation of community, hope, and equity. We anticipate having over 300 attendees, including young people and their families, neighbors and community leaders, local businesses, and our nonprofit partners.

Summer on the Avenue will feature a vibrant lineup of activities—from live music provided by AFJ alumnus and Program Graduate DJ E.M. (Edgar Muñiz), hip-hop dance programming by Black-owned studio Elevé Dance Theater, free food provided by long-time AFJ partner Chef Quie of Charles Pan Fried Chicken, back-to-school supplies and wellness resources, as well as games, face-painting, and hair-braiding stations.

Join us on August 21st as we end the summer the Avenues for Justice Way: with purpose and community impact! To confirm your sponsorship or attendance, please contact: Melissa Best, Event Producer: melissa@daybreakmanagementgroup.com
