Rule Breakers will donate $10,000 to each of the following three movement-leading charities that empower women and nonbinary individuals on the local, national, and global level, respectively.
Local
Smile On Me is a growing community of like-minded people who believe that maintaining a healthy mind and body is key to a joyful life. Our mission is to awaken every girl to her inner greatness and empower her to disrupt the status quo and impact the world. We celebrate girls.
National
Noise For Now connects touring musicians, progressive promoters, and local feminist organizations by directing proceeds from musical events to reproductive rights advocacy organizations around the country.
Global
She Is The Music (SITM) works to increase the number of women working in music and transform the gender landscape of the industry. Independent and global, the organization is committed to equality, inclusivity, and opportunity for women creators.
We strongly encourage printing your ticket to avoid waiting in line.
Can I bring my own food and / or drink?
No outside food or drink will be permitted at the venue. But trust us on this one — you won’t need it! The bars will be stocked, and we'll have the best food lineup in Brooklyn.
Can I come and go as I please?
You sure can! As long as you're wearing your wristband, you can enter and exit the venue at your leisure. But if there's a line to get back in, you will have to wait in it.
What's included with my ticket?
You'll enjoy access to the performances, all of the sponsor and Bustle activations, as well as a complimentary drink. More perks to be announced soon!
What happens if it rains?
Then we'll dance in the rain! The event is rain or shine.
Is there smoking permitted in the venue?
The event is non-smoking. Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the park.
Do I need to bring cash?
Nope! This is a cashless event.
Can I bring my baby?
We're obsessed with babies, but unfortunately this event is 21+.
Where can I pump?
No worries, mama! We've got you covered with a cozy little pumping nook near the roller rink bathrooms.
Can I bring my dog?
We're also obsessed with dogs, but unfortunately only registered service animals are permitted at the venue.
