Mission Statement
Celebrate Bed Stuy is an arts and business festival founded by Bed-Stuy natives with over 50 years of family roots in the community. We showcase musicians, dancers, visual artists, poets, filmmakers, and small businesses while providing workshops and panels that serve as educational opportunities and resources for the community.

Our 2026 edition took place over three days. April 30-May 2,2026 and featured over 50 live performers, 7 visual artists, 2 filmmakers, and exceeded 200 attendees. The festival provides free programming and live entertainment across all 3 days.

A special thank you to NYC Parks for collaborating with us on our 2025 and 2026 editions. And a very special thank you to our 35 private donors!
