The Weekend: 6.25-6.27

Friday, June 25

Northside: The Northside Festival is in full swing, with hundreds of bands performing at venues across Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Not sure where to go? Greg Sutto of Dinosaur Feather's gives us his rundown. You also can't go wrong with Fiery Furnaces at Brooklyn Bowl tonight.

Gowanus: Get zombified at the opening night of "Zombies Attack Brooklyn" at MF Gallery.

Marine Park: Tap in to your inner Irishman with Aviator's Irish Music Festival. Also tomorrow, Black 47 close out both nights.

Williamsburg: "Edward Scissorhands" comes to Brooklyn, with a new play at the Bayard Studio.

Saturday, June 26

Williamsburg: Williamsburg Walks returns to Bedford Avenue, with a slew of outdoor fun (also tomorrow). Afterwards, grab your date and head over to Carmine's II for dinner and a movie. You can't go wrong with "Cinema Paradiso."

Carroll Gardens: Rejoice! Buttermilk Channel is now open for brunch on Saturdays.

Red Hook: After brunch, celebrate all things maritime at the Waterfront Books and Authors Festival.

Sunday, June 27

DUMBO: Thought the Takedown series conquered every food imaginable? Think again. Today, amateur chefs have a new challenge - grits - in the Grits Takedown at the Tobacco Warehouse.

Gowanus: Don't be fooled by the name; the Unfancy Food Fest is still pretty fancy. But at least there's beer. At the Bell House.
