Sat Aug 1
noon,
All Points West Festival at Liberty State Park
A kind of eastern adjunct to Coachella, All Points West draws from that festival’s keen curation but seems equally inspired by Lollapalooza’s urban setting and penchant for more mainstream talent. The three-day event, now in its second year and running through Sunday, takes place at a waterfront state park that overlooks Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, and the proximity to the city means that it’s easy to move on to more intimate celebrations after the show ends, or catch one of the countless after-parties that spring up in Manhattan and Brooklyn—both just a short train or ferry ride away.
