Glenwood Road Will Be Car-Free From Nostrand to Flatbush This Saturday
The city's Weekend Walks program comes to the Flatbush neighborhood on Aug. 6.
FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — Glenwood Road will be closed to traffic between Flatbush and Nostrand avenues near Brooklyn College this Saturday, Aug. 8, as part of the city's summertime Weekend Walks initiative.
The one in Flatbush on Saturday will be hosted by the Flatbush Nostrand Business Improvement District (BID), which has curated a lineup of live bands, DJs, artists and other performers to do their thing on Glenwood Road all afternoon. (FYI, they're calling the whole thing "Jam Fest," not Weekend Walks.)

Saturday's event will last from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
