For the third consecutive year, three prominent local organizations are joining forces to host the lively street fair following the Lag B’Omer parade in Crown Heights. MASK (Mothers and Fathers Aligned Saving Kids) and IDCC (Interborough Developmental & Consultation Center) have announced their continued partnership with NCFJE (National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education) in sponsoring this beloved community event, L’zeicher Nishmas Ita bas Chanoch Aron.
The Lag B’Omer parade and street fair have become cherished traditions, drawing crowds from across the globe to celebrate the joyous holiday. The parade, which commemorates the life of the renowned Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, features colorful floats, lively music, and children marching with banners depicting symbols and slogans of Jewish pride.
Immediately following the parade, the streets will come alive with the Lag B’Omer street fair, which this year promises to be larger than ever before, bringing back bigger rides like a ferris wheel. The fair will feature a variety of rides, shows and activities for all ages. Thanks to the generous sponsors, the entire event will be free for everyone to attend.
“We are thrilled to once again collaborate with our partners at IDCC and NCFJE to bring this wonderful celebration to our community,” said Mrs. Ruchama Clapman, director of MASK. “The Lag B’Omer street fair is a highlight of the year, bringing people together in a spirit of unity and joy.”
The Lag B’Omer parade and street fair will take place on Sunday, May 26th, with the parade beginning at 11 AM and the fair kicking off at 1pm until 6pm. The fair will be held on Lefferts Ave and Brooklyn Ave, with shows in the hall of Beis Rivkah.
Participants are encouraged to arrive early to secure their spot along the parade route and enjoy the full day of festivities. Reserve your seat now, or register a group, at www.thegreatparade.com
