Everything You Need To Know About The Dumbo Arts Festival

1. The Dumbo Arts Festival will take you around the world, all while keeping you within view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Local, national, and international artists are participating in the festival, meaning that you can satisfy your creative wanderlust simply by cutting across the Brooklyn Bridge.  Add a picturesque waterfront and you're well on your way to an Instagram-worthy weekend.  We've already told you about Tom Fruin's water tower masterpiece, but you can also enjoy waterfront works such as the Styrene Lounge (composed of a series of waterfront sculptures resembling beanbags that are both used for a dance performance and open for public use).
