Say Goodbye to Summer and Hello to...
 
Montague Open Streets Returns September 9th!
 

We hope you are enjoying the final (ack!) days of August.  Fall is a time with so many "back-tos", and the neighborhood is filled with a new energy and excitement!

We are thrilled that Open Streets will be returning for eight amazing car-free Saturdays.  The Montague BID, in partnership with the BHA, has put together a great line-up of events and activities for the streets (with some intentional quiet times built in to enjoy some peaceful times on the street as well.) 

As a reminder, please move your cars from Montague between Clinton and Hicks on Saturdays (Sept 9th - Oct 28th) by 10am so that our community can enjoy the days as they are intended.  If you are in need of vehicle transportation on Montague Street during those hours (10am-7pm) please contact the Montague BID so accommodations can be made.

On September 9th, we will be introducing the Montague Cocktail Coop (or Co-Op for an urban edge) - a designated temporary gathering space for adults.  Buy food and/or drink from any Montague Street business and enjoy it in this outdoor adults-only space (on Montague just east of Henry Street, you won't miss it!).  Bring your friends and meet some new ones!

Here's a preview of some special Saturdays ahead!  Check out the Montague BID for a full list of activities.  We will share more details in our newsletter and on Instagram as the dates get closer.

September 9th - Back to School with Mommy Poppins x Brooklyn Bridge Parents!

September 30th - Blood Drive - sign up to save 3 lives!
