This weekend, Bushwick residents are invited to ring in the summer at the Avant Gardner’s inaugural event for Bushwick Salsa.

Bushwick salsa is a free community event organized by Juan Carlos Escobar, the community consultant of Avant Gardner, who partnered up the large-scale venue with the Bushwick community to bring events that represent the neighborhood’s rich history. “Bushwick Salsa is a new music series designed to bring together the diverse cultures and vibrancy of Bushwick residents. The evening will celebrate music, dance, and community— unifying anyone looking for a beautiful night out in the neighborhood,” he said.
