Northside Festival Stays Local, In A Good Way

By Robin Bacior

When the sun fell, the Northside Festival began to feel like another average night on the Bedford strip, the usual carnivalesque vibe, chic-ified with the stereotype of Williamsburg; either frilly messes straight out of costume shops or ripped up, fuck-it attire.
