Think you have to go to New York City or Los Angeles to immerse yourself in the designer toy scene? Well, no longer — the infamous Five Points Festival is taking over the town of Beacon, NY! About an hour north of NYC, the town was already the home to the underground Toy Pizza Experience, and now the two events are teaming up to make a weekend to remember!
Running June 7th to June 8th at the Yard, the events will present a variety of events, including music, movies, tattoos and of course toys! Toy vendors will include the Four Horsemen, Onell Design and Plunderlings, as well as dozens of other independent toy makers! Plus, former ToyFare Magazine editor Zach Oat will be signing his new book of toy photography, Wild Toys, in the free-for-all Toy Pizza section!
At the local movie theater, The Beacon, you can catch Godzilla (1954), Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster (1964) and Dune (1982)! In the Tattoo Zone, you can get inked up to your heart’s content by dozens of amazing artists! And on stage, you can hear hot bands like Zed Star Seven and even catch a burlesque show!
The show will run from 11-10 Saturday and 11-6 Sunday at The Yard, located at 11 Hanna Lane in Beacon. Find out more and order tickets at fivepointsfest.com!
