Traci Smith+FollowCrown Heights kids shine at Youth Pan FestSteelpan rhythms filled Crown Heights as young musicians took center stage at the 13th Annual Youth Pan Fest, right outside the historic home of Shirley Chisolm and Carlos Lezama. The energy was electric, with 12 soloists and eight junior steel bands showing off their skills—some as young as six! Pan Evolution Steel Orchestra took top honors, but every group brought serious talent and heart. The festival wasn’t just about music; families enjoyed Caribbean food, crafts, and free school supplies. It’s clear: Brooklyn’s steelpan tradition is alive and thriving, thanks to these passionate youth. What’s your favorite memory of local cultural festivals? #Culture #CrownHeights #Steelpan00Share
