Greenpoint will be very eventful on Saturday and quieter on Sunday. A recommended plan? Go event-hopping all Saturday and spend all Sunday with your father, or father-figure! Gentle reminder: June 19 is the annual appointed day to celebrate our dads AKA Father’s Day.

Saturday, June 18

Clay Space (275 Calyer Street) will be hosting a Father’s Day Make Your Morning Mug Workshop on June 18. Get that handy dad working from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. He’ll get to show off his handmade coffee/beer/seltzer/kombucha mug! Whatever his choice of breakfast beverage is. No judgments here. RSVP here.
