We Belong Here returns to NYC with back-to-back festivals in two iconic locations

We Belong Here Announces its return to New York City with a doubleheader event in Manhattan’s Central Park and Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

We Belong Here is returning to New York City this fall, and this time, it’s even bigger. Following a successful debut at Central Park’s Wollman Rink in 2024, the festival will host two weekends of music and culture in October 2025, expanding to two distinct locations across the city. For the first time, the festival will take over the Greenpoint waterfront in Brooklyn from October 3 to 5.

The debut of We Belong Here’s Brooklyn show promises stunning views of the Manhattan skyline day and night. The intimacy of We Belong Here, combined with the vastness of the New York City skyline, will create the unique atmosphere this festival is known for. Hosting events in Virginia Key in Miami, Central Park in Manhattan, and now the Brooklyn waterfront, We Belong Here scouts some of the most incredible backdrops for their growing festival series. The following weekend, October 10 to 12, We Belong Here will return to Central Park for its second annual Manhattan edition. Following last year’s standout lineup with artists like Fisher, Kaskade, and Monolink, this year’s event will showcase a fresh lineup of top-tier talent. The full lineup has yet to be announced, but attendees can expect a carefully curated mix of performances across the electronic music spectrum.

Both weekends will feature an elevated guest experience, including food options from Smorgasburg and art installations by local artists. The festival aims to curate unique experiences for each location, highlighting the neighborhood’s creative energy. These additional elements will enhance the overall atmosphere, providing an immersive festival experience that goes beyond just the music, helping this festival grow to become a major name and player in the festival circuit. We Belong Here, Brooklyn and Manhattan, will continue to be geared towards individuals who appreciate music, art, culture, and an intimate yet uninhibited lineup and atmosphere curation.
