After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, the Linden Houses in East New York were finally able to host their annual Family Day celebration event.
The event took place on Saturday, August 6, 2022 and brought hundreds of residents out of the Brooklyn development for a day of fun for the whole family.
Among the various family activities featured at the event were two bounce houses, a climbing wall, as well as face painting.
The Family Day celebration also featured a DJ and a clown, who both performed for those attending the event.
Among those attending the event were State Senator Roxanne J. Persaud, Assembly members Nikki Lucas and Keron Alleyne, as well as City Councilor Charles Barron.
Council Member Barron co-sponsored the event, along with the Linden Tenants Association, C+C Management and PSA 2.
The Linden Houses say the reason for holding the Family Day celebration again was to bring the community together for a day of fun, especially since the annual event had to be put on the back burner for the past two years .
“The purpose of the day was to bring residents together, not only with their management team and elected officials, but with each other, to enjoy a pleasant day, break bread with their neighbors and let their children be have fun in the bouncy house!” Linden Houses said in an email.
“The management team felt it was important to have this event this year to bring the community together and re-establish long-standing traditions.”
