Brooklyn is home to sprawling urban oases, rooftop terraces, and other flexible spaces available to rent for your event. When looking for outdoor event spaces in Brooklyn, it’s important to start your search early. This can give you plenty of time to compare venues and find the perfect place for your event. If you're hosting a large outdoor concert, for instance, you'll want to make sure that the space can accommodate the size of your audience.
Second, take into account the location of the venue.
