The 5th annual Afropunk Festival hits Brooklyn again this summer with new music, film, art and skating/BMX for three days over July 4th weekend with the film series running even longer.  It’s always a highlight of the summer in Fort Greene when the Afropunk crew takes over with their block parties and live music and work from local artists.  The block party is next weekend on 06.12.09 with art and DJs.  Complete festival music and film inside.
