The lineup of musicians includes rappers Mysonne and CL Smooth, as well as myriad local artists.

While the food truck lineup has yet to be announced, organizers added that there will be a Modelo beer garden.

The event is free, but Bushwickers are encouraged to register on Bushwick Collective’s EventBrite page.

Bushwick Collective is a local organization of New York City street artists who are responsible for many of the neighborhood’s iconic murals. The group made news in April when they filed suit against McDonald’s for using their artwork to sell bagels in the Netherlands.
