Coming to The Yard

Revelers at The Yard last fall

Thanks to Bumpershine for this post on the BKLYN Yard (for the past few summers, known just as The Yard), announcing their May events, starting with Memorial Day weekend.

The grassy knoll near the Gowanus has featured some of Brooklyn's best events, from Harvest Festivals to an After The Jump Fest.

Opening day festivities kick off with not music, but a picnic, with goodies from some of the best NYC food trucks, including Pizza Moto (of the Brooklyn Flea), Red Hook Huarache Vendors, and the Green Pirate Community Juice Truck.

So mark your calendars for May 23, and if you're still in town that weekend, here's one idea for some fun in the sun.
