Brasswick is an annual urban music festival showcasing the talent of the vibrant and ever-growing brass band scene in the New York City area. The festival originated in a community garden in Bushwick and has sprouted in different neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn. Now in its fifth year, the festival main event has taken root in Sunset Park at the historic Industry City, with additional pop-up performances in parks across Brooklyn in the weeks leading up! Follow @ltrainbrass on instagram to learn if we’ll pop-up at a park near you!
