Rockaway Brewing Company will be pouring its craft beer.

Furthermore, adults and children will be able to engage in activities such as doughnut making, carnival games, coffee ground reading, balloon twisting and pony rides.

The Sculpture Center, which mostly exhibits experiential and innovative pieces by emerging artists, will feature the work of Eli Keszler—an architect, composer and drummer- in its basement during the event.

Keszler will present his new work, Swarms, which is a sound art installation involving piano wire, severed pipes and other components. The piece deals with the interaction of music with its acoustic environment.
