Following a milestone fifth anniversary in Miami, We Belong Here is expanding its footprint with its most ambitious New York event to date. The brand will host its first-ever multi-stage New York festival, bringing to life an expanded footprint that utilizes the entire Brooklyn Army Terminal Waterfront from June 19-21, 2026. Marking a significant evolution for We Belong Here in New York, the Brooklyn festival is building on the success of its intimate, curated festivals in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and at Central Park’s Wollman Rink last year. The move to the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal allows for a larger-scale experience across multiple stages while maintaining the brand’s signature focus on community, intentional design, and an incredible lineup of dance music. Situated along Sunset Park’s waterfront, Brooklyn Army Terminal offers a rare blend of industrial history, open-air space, and skyline views, making it a natural fit for We Belong Here’s immersive, dance-forward format. It’s exciting to have a larger yet equally stunning location for the second edition of We Belong Here: Brooklyn. The extra space will allow us to provide a platform to more local music producers, DJs, visual artists, and food vendors. We plan to build off of everything we learned from last year’s event and incorporate all the feedback from our community. Our goal is to bring the venue to life in a way that’s never been done before, crafting an experience as expansive as our 5-year Miami festival while staying rooted in New York’s cultural diversity The festival will feature multiple stages showcasing a carefully curated lineup of globally renowned and local artists, reflecting the diverse pulse of dance music in New York and beyond. True to its ethos, the event will prioritize space, comfort, and flow, with oversized dance floors, thoughtful production design, and enhanced amenities throughout the site, including premium local food vendors. Since its founding in 2021, We Belong Here has distinguished itself by creating transformative experiences in unique and iconic locations, from Miami’s Virginia Key Beach to historic urban landmarks across New York City. The brand is celebrated for fostering inclusivity and connection, grounded in the belief that music and intentional design can bring people together in meaningful ways.
