Event Details
Chama Mama Brings Georgian Dumplings, Lemonade, Music, Summer Solstice Yoga, E-Bike Test Rides, Walking Tours, and More to Brooklyn Heights Open Streets on Sunday, June 21
This Father’s Day, skip the crowded brunch reservation and head outside.
And this one is not just for dads.
Montague Open Streets returns to Brooklyn Heights on Sunday, June 21 from 12–5 PM, turning Montague Street from Henry to Hicks into a free, open-air Father’s Day and first-day-of-summer celebration with Georgian dumplings, outdoor yoga, electric bike test rides, walking tours, golf, beauty experiences, food, music, and more.
Come with Dad, bring the family, meet friends, or make an afternoon of it on your own. The day’s marquee experience is A Father’s Day Khinkali Party at Chama Mama, where one of Georgia’s most beloved dishes will take over the street for a free, hands-on cooking experience.
At 1 PM, Chef Nino of Chama Mama will lead a Khinkali Masterclass, showing guests how to prepare and hand fold traditional khinkali, Georgia’s juicy, broth filled dumplings made with spiced meat or vegetables. After the masterclass, guests are invited to stick around for freshly made khinkali, seasonal lemonade, music, and summer-in-the-street fun.
Chama Mama festivities include:
- Khinkali Masterclass: 1:00–2:30 PM
- Fresh Khinkali Tasting: 2:30–4:00 PM
- Music, complimentary signature seasonal lemonade and pure fun
Reservations are strongly encouraged for this free event. Reserve here
“Montague Open Streets is about giving New Yorkers a reason to come outside, support local businesses, and spend the afternoon in Brooklyn Heights,” said Kate Chura, Executive Director of the Montague BID. “Khinkali on Montague Street on the first day of summer is an afternoon worth showing up for.”
Take a Propel E-Bike for a Spin
What if the school run, the grocery haul, the Saturday errand loop — all of it — felt genuinely easy? Propel Electric Bikes will be on Montague Street offering test rides on electric bikes built for real city life: kids, bags, busy schedules, and everything in between.
Stop by, hop on, and find out what an e-bike can actually do for your day.
No pressure. No spandex required.
