Thousands flock to Williamsburg, Greenpoint for Northside Festival
Although the first day of summer isn’t technically until June 20, roughly 100,000 individuals swarmed to Williamsburg and Greenpoint last week to celebrate the unofficial start of the season with the Northside Festival.
Dubbed by many as Brooklyn’s own South by Southwest, the Northside Festival is an annual weeklong celebration that showcases emerging music, technology, ideas and entrepreneurship across the borough’s hippest hoods.
Northside, which just completed its eighth year, is gaining attention at an exponential rate as more and more people discover this quintessential Brooklyn event.
