Red Hook Waterfront Fest Rain On, But Not Rained Out

The Red Hook Waterfront Festival yesterday absorbed much rain, but Officially Hip Red Hook drew a crowd on a Saturday that featured the Waterfront Festival, the ongoing BWAC Art Show, the Red Hook-Carroll Gardens artists' studio tour and, of course, Brooklyn's new favorite weekend activity, shopping at the Red Hook Fairway. The Waterfront Fest, though soggy, went on, with those manning the booths and tables braving the rain and some of the performances being moved inside.

We don't know what this activity was about at the end of Van Brunt Street, which turns into a little lake after a heavy rain. But it was fun to watch.


There was a lot of waterproof gear around.


Puddles, puddles everywhere.
