Family Day is back with a joyful mix of music and imagination. Celebrate iconic Swedish children’s book character Pippi Longstocking with beloved NYC klezmer band The Klezmatics’ accordion-driven sound. Pippi also comes to life through puppet performances by the Parks PuppetMobile and a musical read along by writer Jacqueline Woodson and Brownstone Brass presented by The Center for Fiction and Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, with support from the Swedish Consulate. Don’t forget your braids and boldest mismatched Pippi looks – costumes are encouraged for kids and grownups alike!

This event is part of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn!, New York City’s longest-running, free, outdoor performing arts festival. View the whole summer 2025 lineup here.
