The Scene
The Northside Festival, Brooklyn’s answer to South By Southwest, takes place over seven days in the trendy Williamsburg neighborhood. Music dominates the weekend with a slate of 350 artists performing over 20 venues. While most events required a festival badge or individual ticket, the first Saturday of Northside offers plentiful options for fans of free tunes.
