The 2011 Fort Greene Festival www.fortgreenefest.com, produced and promoted by I See Promotions, LLC, is a community event.  Fort Greene Festival's demographics reflect a stronghold for some of NYC's political, business, civic, fashion, media, entertainment and sports leaders and stars.  During such a still-rebounding economy, the Fort Greene Festival is quite a treat and a great opportunity to enjoin families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, businesses, class reunions, family reunions, school reunions, fraternity/sorority reunions, international tourists, military service members, and simply people.  Attendees enjoy a great day with featured, special and surprise guest entertainment, in addition to art, music, health, fitness, nutrition, wellness, culture, food, vendors, community service organizations, media, politicians and a host of folks from across the globe.  The all-day festival has an urban-Woodstock feel.  Music acts and co-hosts will soon be announced.  The Fort Greene Festival is free to attend, however, a suggested donation of $3 is asked to help bring great performers to the Fort Greene Festival.
