High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Atlantic Antic is a street fair held yearly on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. It is run by the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation (LDC). Estimated to be the second-largest annual gathering in Brooklyn after the Labor Day Carnival, the Antic features food stands, live music, belly dancing, and entertainment for children. In 2006, some 300 vendors and 300,000 people attended; in 2009, roughly 600 vendors and over a million people were estimated to have attended. The fair has occurred each Fall since 1974, except for in 2001, when Mayor Rudy Giuliani canceled all NYC parades and fairs following the September 11 attacks, and in 2002, when a city policy on street closure prevented the LDC from holding the fair.
