The Dumbo Arts Festival starts Friday night and goes all weekend long. Visual art, video and performances take place indoors and out allll around the waterfront neighborhood.

The 7th Annual Vendy Awards are taking place on Governors Island this Saturday. Come with an empty stomach because this event honors the street food vendors. General admission has sold out, so hurry up and buy your tickets now. They ain’t cheap, but the splurge VIP could be worth the $165 price tag.  Table service, no lines.

While you’re on Governors Island, check out the awesome art fair that runs every weekend in September. Go early. There are about 4 four story buildings to get through and you don’t want to miss any of these talented artists.

Here’s an estate sale in Weston, CT that looks worth the trip. It goes the entire weekend starting this morning (quick!). Artwork, furniture and decoratives! But the best part is the “barn full of antiques”.
