Sweaty sailors, slick selkies, scurvy swashbucklers, and salty sea-thems, you are hereby summoned to stomp the shores of Red Hook and set sail on Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Float! We expect to see you on your most piratical behavior as Annie Levin leads you dance-marauding through the cobbled streets and beaches and piers of the neighborhood you only knew for its Swedish furniture. Anna Tobin and Esmerelda Huerta & Sean Reilly Wood have prepared a setlist of sea shanties and sick beats and so much more, to keep you hooked all night long.
We’re ready to see your leftover Mermaid Parade looks, your stolen On The Town props, and, of course, the neighborhood better not be the only one with a big red hook.
Our rendezvous point is Strong Rope Red Hook, so be prepared to take the B61 bus to Van Brunt & Coffey St., which you’ll be able to connect to from the A, C, 2, 3, 4, 5, or G train. The whole journey takes about an hour from Times Square or 30 minutes from Atlantic-Barclays. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to take advantage of Floatcheck, our mobile coat and bag check service throughout the night. Expect the event to last about three hours, plus a short afterparty. No-questions-asked refunds will be available up until your start time. Expect the event to last about three hours. Check-in is only thirty minutes, so do not delay! If you are late you may be left behind and might not be able to catch up. Tickets start at $30 on Saturdays and $20 on Sundays.
If you cannot afford a ticket right now, do not hesitate to reach out, so we can find a way for you to Float. If you've got money to spare though, the NNAF would be a very good place for it right now.
The fine print:
COVID (still) isn't over. Please get vaccinated, get boosted, and get tested regularly, for your own sake. We expect all participants to be fully vaccinated with proof, or to remain masked while with the group. As long as cases stay under control, we hope to proceed with expanded group sizes and fewer restrictions.
This is an age 18+ only event. All tickets are FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked, with advance notice; if you are in any way concerned about your well-being, we would very much prefer you stayed home. Just let us know so we let someone else in; these events are small and they will sell out.
