14th Annual QueensWeek Returns With "Ultimate 21" Youth Tournament

It is one of our most favorite community events and contests of the year and it takes place each year in Queens.

This year, the 2024 QueensWeek XIV Basketball Festival returns with another standout 2-Day Tournament taking place at Baisley Pond South Playground. Basketball games get underway from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm on Saturday, September 7 with regular playoff games, with the Semifinal and Championship Game tipping off on Sunday, September 8.

"Queens will always hold a special place in my heart and this two-day tournament remains a long standing tradition entering its 14th year," said Ballin' 4 Peace founder, Haron Hargrave.

"QueensWeek truly extends beyond the basketball court and into the community by uniting everyone to celebrate our borough together, one game and basket at a time."

The 2-Day event will feature "The Ultimate 21" Youth Tournament (winners advance):
