HCX invites you to Haitian Flag Day Selebrasyon!
May 18th is the day Haitians dedicate to celebrating the creation of the flag, sewn by Catherine Flon in 1803. Communities in Haiti and throughout the Diaspora come together in prideful celebration!
On Sunday, May 17th HCX invites you to join us for our second annual Haitian Flag Day Selebrasyon! In partnership with the Arts & Culture Fest, this all day outdoor festival will take place at Parkside Plaza on Parkside and Ocean Avenues in Brooklyn. Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts and support local artists at our marketplace featuring Haitian and Afro-Diaspora artisans and local businesses. With free outdoor activities including a DJ, live drumming, musical performances, food, dance workshops and FREE face painting and arts & crafts for kids. Located at one of Brooklyn’s most travelled crossroads, we expect to attract over 1,000 people. Confirmed participants include DJ Sabine Blaizin, Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte, and Council Member Jumaane Williams.
Our 2015 Flag Day Selebrasyon! is supported by Diaspora Community Services, Council Member Jumaane Williams, and by Public Funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council.
Last year’s Haitian Flag Day Selebrasyon! was a blast! Jocelyne Dorismé and Nadïne LaFond got the crowd moving and children from the P.S. 189 Dance Ensemble showed off their new dance moves!
