When asked to comment about the importance of this annual event, WAPHA president Bradford Nicoll offered this insight “Wash Ave Rocks! is definitely the highlight of WAPHA’s year and we always look forward to the opportunity to share all the great things that this avenue and neighborhood have to offer. Washington Avenue is a gateway to the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanical Gardens, and Prospect Park, but it’s also the heart of a neighborhood that a lot of people are fiercely proud to call home.”

With the program activities, sponsors, and list of participating merchants still in development, the festival is sure to live up to its golden reputation
