The Community Cookout Series has one mission: to strengthen the community through gathering. And it seems they've done exactly that. All summer long, the collective has taken over the streets of Astoria, welcoming folks with food, music, film and serious neighborhood fun. To close out the season, the collective is inviting you to grill and chill, plus a little bit of thrill!
On Saturday, August 23, the Community Cookout Series is hosting its summer finale. Hosted by 31st Ave Open Street, the two-block-long, open-air fest kicks things off with music played by DJs and live bands. After you've worked up an appetite dancing in the streets, you can refuel over free—yes, we said it, free—barbecue provided by the mission-driven mobile pop-up, Tikkun BBQ. To welcome all to the table, the barbecue will be grilling ribs, chicken and hot dogs, including kosher, halal and vegan dogs. But for a little dinner and a show, the cookout has just the thing. Ushering in the spooky season, the outdoor event will screen the iconic film, "The Mummy," put on by Astoria Horror Club.
The event kicks off at 3pm. BBQ will be handed out at 7pm and the movie starts at 8pm. Entry is free!
