On Saturday head to a party that features body painters, music, food, and dance to the beats of Mumbai, to the pounding drums of Brazil, and to the rhythms of Africa. The organizers warn that there might be some nudity due to the nature of the event, however guests will not be required to be naked, though no one will forbid you either. *wink wink*
Sunday: Brooklyn Makers Market
12 – 7 p.m. at Shwick, 175 Broadway, Williamsburg, FREE
If you miss the days before Shwick Market closed their permanent location in Bushwick, we’ve got good news for you. Shwick owners, a husband-wife duo, Christopher and Jinyen Carew, have been organizing markets all over Brooklyn. Their latest of huge markets takes place this weekend and features locally-made art, goods, food, bar and DJs. Sounds like a perfect event to wind down on a Sunday.
