L Magazine’s Northside Festival June 24-27th

It’s that time of year again.  Northside Festival will be taking over Williamsburg and Greenpoint this weekend.  Although I am pissed they didnt ask yours truly to put together a showcase, I guess I will plug the event anyway. The whole line-up is listed HERE and you can check out the Arts at Northside and FilmFest pages to find schedules of gallery exhibits, film screenings and other special events going down during the festival.

If you didnt score your badge yet, don’t worry, its not too late.  They are even giving some away!!! You can enter the contest HERE.

The winners will get:

1 Grand Prize Winner

2 Runner Up Winners

5 3rd Place Winners

That’s a total of 8 Badge giveaways.  Wondering exactly what a Northside Badge get’s you? Well look no further, here are the deets:

• Entry to ALL Northside shows, be they film, art or music, on a first-come, first-served basis. This includes all four outdoor concerts at the metroPCS stage in Barge Park. So if you plan on going to 3 or more shows, it makes sense to get a badge. They’re only $50!
