No country home? Don’t fret. Let us not forget that NYC is essentially island living.
Enjoy some of that precious, uh, coastline. The Red Hook Waterfront Arts Festival kicks off tonight, with a family sunset picnic. Bring dinner and enjoy a serenade under the stars by accordionists. Tomorrow’s activities for kids include music and dance by the likes of pirate puppets and acrobatic salseros, not to mention free canoe and kayak rides. And pick up some living green tips — everything from composting to underwater exhibits — from local community organizations.
It’s almost a day at the beach.
When: Fri. 6/6, starting at 7pm, & Sat. 6/7, 11am-7pm; All ages; Free.
Where: Valentino Park& Pier (Coffey & Ferris St.), Brooklyn, redhookfest.org.
