Hosted by the Red Hook Star-Revue, the all-ages event features live entertainment, face painting, henna tattoos, a local marketplace, a Tiki bar, fireworks, and more. “Celebrating Red Hook is a day when we bring so many pieces of Red Hook into a single place in order to display all of the culture that makes our community special,” Red Hook Star-Revue publisher Kimberly G. Price said in a statement. The music lineup consists of Stan Kosakowski (1:00), HAPPS (1:35), the Eephus Band (2:00), William Robertson (3:00), Berst (4:00), the Sanghatones (5:00), Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Ramblers (6:00), Andi Rae Healy and the Back River Bullies (7:00), and Union (8:00). Among the more than fifty participants with booths are Red Hook Winery, Sixpoint Brewery, Cora Dance, the Red Hook Art Project, the Red Hook Justice Center, Giant Jenga, Tarot Cards with Serena, the Brooklyn Bridge Rotary Club, Friends of the Red Hook Library, Addabbo Health Center, Dolce Brooklyn, Brooklyn Whatever, and the Red Hook Conservancy.
