Brookside Gathers to #KneelForNine
On Saturday, June 13th, at 2:30pm, merchants gathered with residents from across the metro to kneel for nine minutes. Families and friends arrived with masks, signs and open hearts for a peaceful demonstration in honor of George Floyd and in solidarity with the Black community. The event was part of the national #KneelForNine movement which encouraged people to kneel in solidarity to grieve and show support for change. Approximately 600 people were in attendance, including many Brookside merchants and residents.
We value and stand with the many Black men and women, leaders, mentors, business owners, employees, patrons, friends and neighbors to condemn the inequality, racism, discrimination and hatred that has again been brought to light by recent events and includes the murder of George Floyd.

The Brookside Business Association and Brookside CID regret to announce that we are postponing the 35th Brookside Art Annual. This year’s Art Annual was to have been held May 1st-3rd, but with the current restrictions on public gatherings, we must postpone the event to a future date. We know this announcement will be disappointing to so many, as the annual art show means a lot to our community, our businesses, and the artists who come from across the nation. We will reevaluate our options once gathering and stay-at-home restrictions are lifted, it is deemed safe to be out in large numbers again, and a more appropriate date becomes apparent.
