Explore a variety of large outdoor event venues in Brooklyn
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.

Finally, think about what amenities the venue offers. Does it have enough chairs and tables? Heat lamps? A stage? Make sure that the outdoor space has everything you need to make your event a success, whether it’s a college graduation party or a rehearsal dinner.
