The premise of a cookout is simple: come as you are, eat what you want, drink a lil bit, and dance a lotta bit. Crosstown Cookout is a collaboration of party crews from near and far coming together to turn up under the sun for one last time before the summer comes to a close. Expect heavy helpings of community vibes, hip hop and global beats spun by NYC’s best, delicious food by the Drive Change crew, and maybe even a pop-up performance by a VERY special guest.

The Midnite BBQ is a celebration of options in food, music, and style! A twist on the traditional BBQ, created by friends with a love for great vibes and variety.
America is a melting pot of cultures, but the words “barbecue” or “cookout “ connote imagery of an “All-American” event, with a menu devoid of food that truly reflects our diverse cultural make-up. We flip the script while catering to everyone… weeding out the ordinary with No Burgers. No Hotdogs. Adding late night hours, a variety of options for restricted diets, and exotic options for the most discerning tastes. Featuring the best from local food trucks, chefs, and DJs.
It’s Summer and TRUCKED is on the move!
All Caribbean islands – it’s your time to UNITE as we combine Top Island DJs representing the most popular Carnival Bands from around the Caribbean!
Unleashing pure MUSICAL MADNESS!
Every island and every flag will band together in euphoric unity as one people.

Complimentary BBQ (while supplies last)
It’s midsummer 2017 and stars are aligning. Two of your favorite crews, The Level Party & Groovy Groovy, are joining forces to bring you the best of vibes across two stages. Groovy takes over the dank ruins of Knockdown Center, highlighting a special US debut. Daniel Martin-McCormick, aka Ital, bringing us his new live project Relaxer in a proper rave setting—every bit as dark, trippy, and claustrophobic as his productions. Warming up the room are residents Akanbi, Yogic, Ronan, Teleself, and Vesna bringing that special Groovy flavor. Level takes over the courtyard, welcoming one of our favorite producers in 2017—D. Tiffany, from Vancouver. Her wavy house tunes will suit sunset nicely. Local legend Turtle Bugg closes out the scene, while Andrew D, Onkel-S & good pal NK Badtz Maru set the vibe with an extended 3 hour B2B. Food served all day. Come ready to rave.
