Three nights of sound, ideas, and afterglow at The Glasshouse.

The gathering

A small festival that starts after the light goes.

NOCTURNE is three consecutive nights in a converted glasshouse on the Red Hook waterfront. Talks in the main hall. A score written for the trusses. Late sets, a communal table, and a Sunday that does not rush you out.

Capacity is capped. Early Fire is already gone. Night Pass is the open ticket; Weekend and Patron keep a few seats for people who want the workshops and the green room.
