Weekend Events

Dumbo Art Under the Bridge Festival
This weekend Dumbo will be transformed into a neighborhood-wide art show, with galleries, studios, and storefronts devoted to art-related happenings; even neighborhood landmarks and fixtures will be transformed into temporary art projects. This is the 13th year that the festival has taken place in Dumbo; you can see a slide show of last year’s event here. The festival kicks off this morning and runs through Sunday, which means you could combine an art walk with a visit to The Flea on Sunday. For more information check out the festival’s website.
