Dang, I was really hoping they’d have some nighttime festivities for after the beach! Sounds dope
Yea I know! It’s the same day as the Fort Greene Festival — http://www.fortgreenefest.com/ — and there are also Afro-Punk festivities — http://www.afropunk.com/ — taking place that day as well. Many things to do that night!
