Northside Festival came and went this past week, along Saturday’s stifling hot weather

An anonymous organization called the Bushwick Arts Festival set up a website and Facebook page at the end of February—and immediately found itself at the center of a controversy

This weekend is all about exploring

Off-season at the Rockaways is gonna be good.

Enter through the back door…

With a tagline of “Probably Brooklyn’s Best Music Festival,” Gigawatts organizers, the team behind bi-monthly music magazine 1.21 Gigawatts, are not so humble about the quality of their event- and for good reason! The lineup in completely bangin’, featuring the best of the punk, rock, garage- and even pop and rap!- scenes from Brooklyn and beyond. […]

We’ve officially reached the midpoint of summer

Secret Project Robot is not a gigantic warehouse that you might imagine to find in other parts of Bushwick, but rather a modest, bar-equipped and almost cozy venue

Guys, cancel all your commitments, change the location of your dates, tell your mom you can’t see her next weekend (sorry!) because this coming week (October 2-5) officially belongs to Bushwick Film Festival (BFF)! Huge celebration of domestic as well as international indie cinema is happening in your neighborhood, and you as a proper Bushbaby should not miss this!

Let’s face it—the citizens of Bushwick don’t live in a bubble

If you’re like us and you loooooove music festivals, you may be quietly shedding tears over the (impending) arrival of fall and the end of festival season

We hope you aren’t tired of summer festivals yet because this one is also not to be missed! Last year, Out In the Streets included a stellar lineup with Turnip King, Wild Yaks, and Pictureplane and this weekend get ready for another awesome lineup of music with headliners including A Place to Bury Strangers, Body Language, Hunters, as well as Memphis’ Cities Aviv! Bird Dog Productions, The Sky Report, and Supercrush Studio have teamed up to put on this festival at the Onderdonk house in Ridgewood for the second year, and promise us music, art and food! YES!

Just hangin’ at The Neverlands. “Because it’s Northside!” More or less, the phrase became a mantra of sorts over this past weekend, when the multi-venue Northside Festival enveloped Brooklyn for the sixth year in a row. As I, Loren, your trusty narrator, chased bands around Williamsburg, Bushwick, and everywhere in between, the sentence was repeated […]

If you’re super into food, perhaps you’ve heard of Patrick Martins. He’s the founder of Heritage Foods USA: an organization that coordinates the distribution of meat to consumers and restaurants. Part of their mission reads “The meat we celebrate is the righteous kind, from healthy animals of sound genetics that have been treated humanely and allowed […]

Bushwick Film Festival turns six this year! From October 2nd to the 6th you have a great opportunity to get involved, whether by attending, contributing to the BFF foundation, or volunteering (there still might be a couple of spots available)

The Good Festival, presented by Local Roots NYC, a local CSA, landed at Brooklyn Fire Proof 10 days ago

Holy Smokes! Music & Arts Festival is all said and done, and we can’t express enough thanks to all of you who attended for making this festival a success on so many levels!
