Brass bands, dance beats, pulsating dance floor, lots of cozy seating, photo booth wall for all those mer-selfies. Classic summertime Brooklyn loft party...if it happened under the sea. After the bands, dancing to tropical bass beats until our mermaid tails fall off. Featuring:
Hungry March Band - a brass-fueled storm of untamed joy and revelry. Sound and celebration collide as their horns howl and drums thunder, weaving jazz, punk, and global influences into a wild, anarchic dance.
Batala NY - Gotham's premiere all-women Afro-Brazilian percussion and dance ensemble, presenting a fearless, diverse and resilient community of drummers.
Stoop Kidz - a brass supergroup who banded together during the early pandemic to bring music to the streets of Brooklyn. Five years later, they’re still serving dance parties with original bangers and brass arrangements of Disco, Synth-Pop and RnB hits.
Dress code: all sea creature everything.
Closest subway from parade: express B/D/N/Q to Atlantic-Pacific (or switch to R for local Union stop). Lots of great restaurants in the area to grab a meal before the party.

What: "Criss-Cross: An ensemble of various sonic, aesthetic, and lived experiences all intersecting at different points and different degrees in time.
