There was music, food, and toys, among other things. Brighton Beach residents flooded the streets with bright smiles as children participated in arts and crafts activities, had their faces painted, and even received henna tattoos. Our community came together to celebrate Eid, thanks to the excellent sponsors and officials who helped make the occasion even more remarkable.Apna was ecstatic to be hosting this event.
