There's a Party in Astoria and you're all invited!
About this event
The Backlot Festival is a day-long celebration of art, music, and community here in the Kaufman Arts District - the first and only district of its kind in Queens!
With local vendors, food and drink, and a host of diversions from Artist-designed Putt-Putt to a 30+ All-woman Brazilian Drumline, to the first-ever Queens Mutt Show (crowning the "Best Mutt in Queens", followed by a Doggy Disco....), the Backlot Festival promises to be a great day in Astoria.
Joining the activity on the Backlot itself is a moveable feast of offerings staged throughout the neighborhood in collaboration with our family of presenting partners, and featuring film screenings,ukulele lessons, poetry readings, comedy shows, jazz ensembles, art exhibits , and more.
IT'S ALL FREE!
Though we strongly recommend you register here to secure yourself a Backlot Button, which guarantees you preferred admission at some events.
