Atlantic Terminal Saturday Kids' Craft Sessions

Brooklyn Bridge Parents and Atlantic Terminal Mall are promoting a free family event series in Downtown Brooklyn this month, with crafts, games, block building and water play on the Atlantic Terminal Mall Plaza. Brooklyn Bridge Parents’ event listing says the “Summer Saturdays for Families” programming is aimed at children ages 0 to 12 and runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Atlantic Terminal Mall, 139 Flatbush Avenue. Eventbrite and Brooklyn Bridge Parents both list the next August date now posted online as Saturday, August 29, billed as a Back to School Bash. ### What is actually scheduled at Atlantic Terminal this month? Saturday, August 29, is the August date currently visible on Brooklyn Bridge Parents’ standalone event page for the series. That listing describes a “Summer Saturdays Back to School Bash” with free water play, kids activities, giveaways and more fun on the Atlantic Terminal Mall Plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) Eventbrite also shows the series as “Multiple dates,” but the August date spelled out in the event details is Saturday, August 29. The listing says the events are held on Saturdays and, if needed, Sundays as rain dates. ### What can families expect there? Eventbrite describes the offering in simple terms: “Free crafts, games, block building and water fun” at Atlantic Terminal Mall Plaza. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) The same listing says families should expect water play, kids activities and giveaways as part of the series. Brooklyn Bridge Parents’ broader 2026 outdoor events guide uses similar language, saying Summer Saturdays at Atlantic Terminal Mall Plaza will include free crafts, games, block building and water fun on Saturdays in August from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (eventbrite.com) That guide identifies the location as Atlantic Terminal Mall Plaza in Fort Greene. ### Who is organizing the event, and where is it? (eventbrite.com) Brooklyn Bridge Parents is listed as the organizer on Eventbrite, and Atlantic Terminal Mall is named as the venue partner. The Eventbrite page gives the address as 139 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217. Downtown Brooklyn is the neighborhood label used on the Brooklyn Bridge Parents event page, while the outlet’s outdoor guide places Atlantic Terminal Mall Plaza under Fort Greene. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) Both pages refer to the same Atlantic Terminal site and plaza programming. ### Is there a cost or age limit? The Brooklyn Bridge Parents event page marks the event as “FREE.” The same page categorizes the audience as babies, toddlers and preschoolers, kids, and tweens, while the Eventbrite description says the programming is for ages 0 to 12. (eventbrite.com) The August 29 event is framed as a family outing rather than a drop-off program. Eventbrite says families should “come out to play, cool off and make friends,” and notes that children attending the Back to School Bash should bring a bathing suit and towel. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) ### What is the discrepancy with the August 8 date? August 8 appears in Brooklyn Bridge Parents’ general events calendar, but not as an Atlantic Terminal session. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) The calendar entry visible alongside the Atlantic Terminal event page is for the STEAMVentures Science + Art Fair in Fort Greene Park, scheduled for Saturday, August 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Atlantic Terminal-specific pages available through Brooklyn Bridge Parents and Eventbrite do not show an August 8 session for this series. (eventbrite.com) Based on the currently posted listings, the August Atlantic Terminal date that can be verified is August 29. ### Where can families RSVP or check for updates? Brooklyn Bridge Parents’ outdoor festivals guide directs readers to RSVP for Summer Saturdays through its linked event page. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) The standalone event page then routes families to the Eventbrite registration page for details and sign-up. Saturday, August 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is the next verified Atlantic Terminal session now posted online, with rain dates listed as Sundays after on Eventbrite. (brooklynbridgeparents.com) Families can use the Brooklyn Bridge Parents listing or the linked Eventbrite page to confirm any updates before heading to 139 Flatbush Avenue.
