Brooklyn Mirage Slated To Open July 1

EAST WILLIAMSBURG — A massive outdoor party venue with a contentious past will open its doors to the public for the first time this year in July.

Brooklyn Mirage, the 12,000-square-foot outdoor party space of the much-contested and repeatedly shut-down Avant Gardner, will reopen on July 1, organizers announced.

The debut concert is scheduled to take place at 140 Stewart Ave., where musicians Recondite and Stephan Bodzin as well as DJ Tale Of US are slated to perform.

The party promoter group CityFox, who own and run the space, will open Brooklyn Mirage after a long battle with city agencies — who repeatedly shut them down for violating safety and fire codes — and local residents who protested their liquor license applications in community board meetings, according to DNAinfo New York reports.

The venue was finally granted a license from the State Liquor Authority in April after being shut down in June of 2016 for safety code violations, according to Brooklyn Vegan.

Two other Avant Gardner spaces — the Great Hall and the Kings Hall — are expected to open later in the summer, according to a Brooklyn Vegan report.
