Closing Bell: Festival Brings Art and Performance to Dumbo This Weekend

The Dumbo Arts Festival transforms the normally sleepy streets near the waterfront into a celebration of art and performance this weekend. The free event is expected to draw over 200,000 people to Dumbo, where they’ll find installations tucked into every corner and more than 100 open artist studios. Highlights include Dumbo’s industrial history explained through stencils on the railroad tracks, a hydroponic tomato plant sculpture paying tribute to Dr. Seuss’s Trufula Tree, and a traveling dance party with music played from a street vendor cart. It starts Friday evening from 6 to 9 pm and runs through Sunday at 6 pm. Head over to Dumbo Arts Festival for more details or download the full festival guide for the schedule of events and a map.
