The Bklyn Combine extends our deepest gratitude to everyone who showed up, showed love, and poured their energy into this year’s Combine Day.
Every year, Combine Day transforms Restoration Plaza—right in the heart of Bed-Stuy—into an immersive celebration of Community, Commerce, and Culture. Together with @Hycide and our community stakeholders, we create a space where neighbors, creatives, and change-makers come together to honor the spirit of Brooklyn. The heartbeat of the day comes from @fonsoundsystem, the Bklyn Combine’s in-house music collective, providing a soundtrack rooted in culture, joy, and the traditions that shape us.
Our Global Village Marketplace uplifts local entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses, ensuring that our community’s talent is both seen and supported. This year, the energy was enriched by our beloved returning vendors, new community partners, and special activations—including custom tees printing by Boris, a.k.a. “Bernards.”
We were honored to feature electrifying performances from Arrow The Symbol, Euphony, and the legendary Smif-n-Wessun, all of whom brought the kind of artistry and authenticity that reflects the soul of our neighborhood.
Thank you for making Combine Day more than an event—it’s a living, evolving expression of who we are and the future we’re building together.
