Battle of the Boroughs: Queens Throwdown
Flushing Meadows Park, Queens
Overview
Join us on First Fridays in The Greene Space for a showdown series designed to bring out the best undiscovered bands and ensembles of all genres: instrumentalists, singers, DJs, spoken word artists and performance artists in the five boroughs.
Did we mention it’s also a party?
First Fridays in The Greene Space, MC’d by radio host Terrance McKnight, are a great way to start your weekend. Come out to discover new performers, support your local favorites — and enjoy beer, wine and snacks on the house.
Voting: The first round of voting will take place exclusively with our Greene Space in-house audience to determine the top five artists of the night. The top five artist’s performances will be put online at www.thegreenespace.org and open voting will begin. Only one vote will be permitted per person. The winner of the Queens “Battle of the Boroughs” will be announced on Twitter, The Greene Space Facebook page, and on the official Greene Space website.
