The sun is out and you should be too this Saturday, June 21st, for an amazing FREE one-day festival called Make Music New York. Anyone can attend and take part in MMNY,which features thousands of performances and takes place all across NYC on the longest day of the year. The goal of this festival is to get everyone outside, enjoying life and one another–so sport those crop tops because it’s time to let loose! Of course we’re going to be a bit partial to some of our loves here in the hood, so here’s our top shows, MMNY edition in Bushwick!
