JOIN US FOR A 2026 HEALING ADVENTURE!
The First Descents NYC Local Adventure Community invites you to join us for our second annual Brooklyn Bash. We’re taking you back to the 90s, so bust out your chokers, cargos and hair crimpers for a retro dance party!
Join us as we sip on handcrafted cocktails and high balls made from the New York Distilling Company‘s own spirits, as well as other local suds and sodas. Enjoy complimentary eats from Stuf’d Truck, serving up some of their award winning bites!
All proceeds from this event will directly benefit local programming provided by First Descents to our ever-growing alumni community. We seek to raise $20,000 to sponsor all local adventure programs in NYC in the 2019 season.
Please note this event is for ages 18 and up.
