What a weekend at Empire B**r Garden.
Thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed a drink, danced, brought the family, supported local and spent part of your weekend with us. Seeing so many people come together and enjoy themselves is exactly what Summerfest was all about.
A huge thank you to every DJ who showed up and kept the atmosphere alive all weekend long, and to all of the local vendors who came out to showcase their small businesses and be part of the experience.
Special shoutout to our sponsor, Jameson, for being part of the weekend and helping us make it happen!
And a big thank you to Gary Perone and the entire Ferry Hawks team for showing us so much love throughout the weekend and helping us celebrate I Love Staten Island Day on Sunday.
There is so much talent, so much pride and so much love within the Staten Island community. We’re proud not only to be part of it, but to continue making Empire B**r Garden a place where Staten Island can come together for celebrations, events and everything in between.
