“It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”
-Maud Hart Lovelace
BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Festival
Though 2020 was a challenge, leaving many in-person events canceled, there is light at the end of the tunnel. This summer, the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Festival will resume with a variety of live performances. This is an event you will not want to miss!
Watch a Show at Irving Plaza
After a year of renovations, the Irving Plaza venue will be back this season with over 40 live concerts! From Noah Cryus to Jesse McCartney to Ripe and more, be sure to stop by the Irving Plaza to get your music fix! Plus, there’s a fantastic bar and a beautiful upper-level view. We know we’ll be finding a show… or two!
Join in on Hot Honey Sundays
Do you love to bust a move? Every Sunday at 2 PM, Greenpoint Terminal hosts an outdoor dance party. With live DJs and plenty of food options, be sure to end your weekend with a bang and some dancing fun on the beach! What more could you ask for?
Roll-a-Rama Skating at TWA Hotel
Calling all roller skaters! Home of The Runway Rink, TWA Hotel is a 60s-themed venue with a 44-by-56-foot outdoor rink. Open every weekend; visitors can rent roller skates and skate their little hearts out! It’s an excellent, cost-effective activity for all ages! Since the event is in high demand, it’s best to get there at opening since tickets are first-come, first-serve. We hope you give it a try!
Watch a Rooftop Movie at Pier 17
This isn’t your ordinary movie theater! At Pier 17, you’re able to sit back, relax, and enjoy your movie with a stunning rooftop view of New York City. Head to the Seaport Cinema every Monday night to take advantage of this excellent opportunity!
“Cause a little bit of summer is what the whole year is all about.”
