First Saturdays Celebrating Caribbean Heritage with Brooklyn Museum with Tracey Baptiste

August 2, 2025 @ 5:30 pm 6:30 pm EST

The Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival is partnering with the Brooklyn Museum for the third consecutive year to celebrate all that is joyous about Caribbean culture in poetry and stories with some of the contemporary diaspora’s best griots at the Museum’s annual First Saturday blast! A quintessential Brooklyn gathering, First Saturday is an explosion of colour, sound, food, and music.

Join Edwidge Danticat (HT), Olugbemisola Rhuday Perkovich (JA), and Tracey Baptiste (TT) (WFYP, MFA Writing Faculty) for Family Story Hour in the Feminist Forum to be immersed in the fantastical tales of monsters, myths and falling lizards – the stories elevating the brave boys and girls whose Caribbean culture has helped to make Brooklyn the awesome place it is today!

Admission is free but space is limited!
