After selling out their 2016 Memorial Day BBQ, this year they are upping the ante and taking their infamous party vibes outside to the historical and beautiful Vander Ende-Onderdonk House in Ridgewood (a short stroll from House Of Yes). Featuring beats by house and disco DJ favorite, Eli Escobar, circus performances, artist vendor markets, an open air bar sponsored by Heineken and Guayakí Yerba Mate, and interactive live art, this rain or shine event is a great way to finish off the Memorial Day weekend with a bang.
To set the party mood and for a chance to skip the line, Memorial Day guests are asked to come dressed in their most creative and outlandish colors, or in head-to-toe white to mark the unofficial kick-off to summer. Once inside, attendees will be able to dance the day away to New York's favorite disco DJ and House of Yes star resident, Eli Escobar, and taste a variety of delicious delights including a good old BBQ pig roast or other vegetarian treats. Attendees can marvel at art installations, watch local artists create masterpieces in a matter of hours or have a crack at arts and crafts at the interactive art station. Spend the afternoon browsing through Mamas Bazaar artisan market followed by a drink or two at the pop up bar whilst being blown away by a variety of circus acts including: aerial performance, go-go dancing, contortionists, and sideshow performers.
The first of five events spread out over the summer months at the Onderdonk House, the Summer of Love is a new outdoor event series by House of Yes that transforms this local private park into a magical wonderland. All Summer of Love events will feature eclectic music from their resident DJs, art exhibits by local Brooklyn artists, specially crafted food and drink menus, Mamas Bazaar artisan market, and the vibrant House of Yes signature spectacles. After their Memorial Day celebration, Summer of Love will welcome a selection of the best Burner west coast day party collectives: Pink Mammoth (June 10 & 11), DISTRIKT (July 29 & 30), and a pre-Burn day party (August 20). On July 4, House of Yes will return to Onderdonk to host their famous Independence Day party.
