5 Boro PicNYC

Kick off Summer with 5 Boro PicNYC on May 29, 2021

Food Karma Projects – the producers of Pig Island NYC and Brisket King® NYC – are bringing you the ultimate memorial day barbecue and picnic. Join us on Saturday, May 29th for a full day of ribs, vegetarian dishes and plenty of drinks. All inclusive tickets are on sale now.

The event will feature produce grown on site at the Snug Harbor Heritage Farm, top chefs from around the country, the return of the Rib King NYC competition and tons of fun for the whole family. Plus – sauces to sample and purchase and plenty of local beer and hard cider to quench your thirst. It’s all happening at the historical Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island. Ride the ferry to flavor and kick off summer at this all-inclusive Memorial Day weekend festival.

The event will follow all CDC guidelines including mandatory masks and social distancing. Snug Harbor Cultural Center is an 83-acre outdoor venue. Guests are encouraged to come at the start of the event as some restaurants may run out of food later in the day to bring their own picnic blankets or camp chairs. The event is held rain or shine.
