We join Vanessa Hudgens, Zuri Marley, and more at Full Moon Fest, NY’s most sustainable music festival
This year marks the 8th birthday of Full Moon Fest, an annual music festival hosted by MATTE Projects, an NYC-based creative agency and entertainment company.
But Full Moon Fest isn’t just any other music festival. You can rave guilt-free knowing that Full Moon Fest partnered with The Surfrider Foundation to donate $1 from every ticket sale to the effort to preserve our world’s oceans. You win, the ocean wins. Very cool. But wait, there’s more. Full Moon Fest also partnered with WeCycle to compost all of the festival’s waste on site, with a commitment to producing zero-waste.

The massive party was held at The Knockdown Center in Brooklyn, which is known for both its epic indoor and outdoor spaces:
The huge venue was transformed into an urban jungle over the course of the festival, as you can see. The three stages were Jungle Ruins, The Solaar Stage and of course, the Full Moon Stage. Basically, there was no shortage of sound, and there were tons of artists and DJs (around 20, to be precise) which truly offered something for everyone. Some of the headliners included Rechulski, Jackmaster, Mira and others:

But of course, even though we come to a music festival for the music, we stay for the fashion. Music festivals in New York are really cool for that reason: festival fashion here is sort of like a hybrid of bohemian and edgy. Here’s what I mean:

And of course, would a party really be a party without a Van Leeuwen’s ice cream truck? Nope. Gotta love Brooklyn.
