summer 2008 events @ THE YARD - entire Sunday DJ lineup

Despite the rumors, The Yard, an outdoor Brooklyn venue along the Gowanus Canal, will be open for events this summer. There will be one-off shows like Mike Ladd on May 24th, Stereo Total on May 31st and AudraRox on June 7th, AND there will be dancing and food every Sunday from 3-9pm. More details and the whole ‘Sunday Best’ lineup is below…

Sunday Best!

A Sunday Afternoon Barbecue and Hang at The Yard
Gussie up to get down at the brand new, easy-going, late afternoon, barbecue cum dance party — every Sunday throughout the summer (May 25-August 31).

Sunday Best! takes over The Yard, a leafy waterside lot on the Gowanus Canal for a nice, mid-afternoon barbecue. It’s no ordinary weenie roast, though. The bar-b’s organic and resident DJs Justin Carter, Eamon Harkin and Doug Singer play alongside some of the finest DJs to ever take on a back yard…
