Summer Space, Montague Street's annual pedestrian-plaza event series, will be held on two Sundays in mid September – from 10 am to 5 pm on the 12th, and from noon to 5 pm on the 19th. On those dates, Montague Street will be car-free between Clinton and Hicks.

Local arts groups and non-profits will provide free activities and events, and Montague Street businesses will offer promotions and sidewalk sales.

The 12th is focused on arts and food — and it's the same day as the nearby Brooklyn Book Festival. The 19th is all about family fun and games.
