Brooklyn’s Linden Houses buzzed with excitement on Saturday, August 2, 2025, as locals and friends gathered for a joyful day of music, laughter, and camaraderie.
With support from C+C Apartment Management, the Linden Houses Resident Association hosted their annual Family Day in the heart of East New York. Seeking to bolster neighborhood bonds and soak up the summer weather, the event attracted hundreds of attendees.
From early morning through evening, Linden Houses’ shared spaces were alive with activity. Children took on the challenge of a towering rock-climbing wall or jumped with glee in an inflatable bouncy house. Attendees sampled tasty dishes from nearby vendors, caught up with familiar faces, and danced to lively tunes.
The Mayor’s NeighborhoodStat initiative also joined the gathering, providing young visitors with fun activities and families with helpful resources. The program aimed to boost both community engagement and safety, offering youngsters a way to learn and enjoy simultaneously.
