In the wake of the recent announcement that the beloved neighborhood-wide festival, Bushwick Open Studios will be held in October instead of the usual June this year, at least the date of one iconic Bushwick event remains unchanged.
Popular Bushwick Collective Block Party, which has been held on the first Saturday of June for the last four years, will be held on Saturday, June 4, 2016.
The Bushwick Collective Block Party organized by the street art curatorial project of a Bushwick native Joe Ficalora in itself attracts thousands of people to the neighborhood. The party features music stage, live street art painting, art show as well as community performances and contests sponsored by local businesses. This year again it will be held at its usual spot — on the block of Troutman St. between St Nicholas Ave. and Wyckoff Ave. spilling into Scott Ave.
