Dear Brooklynites, lovers of Brooklyn and peace fanatics,
Welcome to the 2008 Brooklyn Peace Fair! Brooklyn For Peace has been working hard to bring you another amazing event to educate and uplift. We have, as always, a great lineup of speakers and performers of all kinds. As we continue to work to bring you even more amazing talent we'll continue to update the site, but for now you can get a peek by playing the performers above.
Peace and love,

ABOUT THE BROOKLYN PEACE FAIR:
The Brooklyn Peace Fair is NYCs largest annual grassroots event dedicated to the promotion of peace, social justice, and education on sustainable development. The event is organized by Brooklyn Parents for Peace, a non-profit organization which has been working to raise awareness through education and collective citizen activism in NYC and abroad for over 22 years.
Saturday April 26, 2008 marks the 5th year of the annual event. Thousands of attendees will participate in a day of discussion, workshops, keynote speeches, music, and art -- a true community-building program that involves the participation of hundreds of organizations city-wide.
The Peace Fair will bring together a diverse range of emerging local artists and musicians committed to pushing the boundaries of their respective genres while exercising their own DIY-ethic. They represent a cross-section of music that combines and bridges a wide-range of styles and genre. Most importantly, these musicians have raised a creative call to arms, with reverence to the great agitators of the past, and with regard for future generations to come.
We are heading into the studio with Nic Hard, producer of The Church, The Bravery, Aberdeen CIty, The Kin, etc. We will resurface sometime in May with some great new recordings and a show at The Annex (May 24, 8 PM) !!! Until then...
