Busta Rhymes, Justine Skye to perform at Brooklyn Army Terminal Block Party
Brooklyn Army Terminal has announced that 11-time Grammy-nominated rapper and actor Busta Rhymes and R&B artist Justine Skye will be the headline performers for its first-ever BAT Block Party.
The free event, slated to be held on Saturday, Sept. 15, will include festivities such as outdoor concert performances, a beer and wine garden, art galleries, interactive video game experiences for the younger set and food vendors and shops from BAT-based companies.
“We’re so excited for the first ever BAT Block Party,” said Julie Stein, senior vice president for asset management at New York City Economic Development Corporation, which manages BAT. “This inaugural event will celebrate Brooklyn Army Terminal’s 100th birthday, and will bring together Sunset Park residents, local businesses and New Yorkers from across the city to celebrate the campus’s commitment to the creation of quality jobs and enjoy the beautiful waterfront public space.”
