Spring may not yet have fully sprung but we’re bringing fresh life, warmth and out-of-this-world local vendors to the Greenpoint Loft on 67 West St. for Greenpointers’ Gardens of the Galaxy Spring Market. The event will be blasting off on Sunday, April 22, and staying in orbit from 1 to 7 p.m. Join your fellow space gardeners and RSVP on Facebook.
Greenpointers has searched our local solar system to find 60+ star-studded vendors offering up their cosmically curated crafts and wares. There’ll also be some of the best free activities you can find under the sun, including henna tattoos by Miss V, tarot card readings by Hannah Frishberg, nail art by Peenk and 3-D scans and digital avatar creation by Capture Me In 3D. Get grounded with complimentary rooftop yoga courtesy of Hosh Yoga; become the Martian you are inside with free face painting by Greenpoint YMCA; and orbit the dance floor to DJ The Josh Craig.
Oh, and don’t forget to look stellar for the camera in our space garden art installation and photo booth.
Food and refreshments will include heavenly Rosewater gimlets with Brooklyn Gin and craft beer by Greenpoint Beer & Ale Co., BABE Rosé and BABE Grigio Wine
Greenpointers proudly supports community organizations and welcome North Brooklyn Angels to join in to serve dessert and coffee by Brooklyn Roasting Company! Read all about them here!
