Pop-Up Festival on Halsey 2015 Recap

If you made it to the Halsey Street last Thursday you might have thought you were in Brooklyn. The Pop-Up Festival on Halsey coordinated by Rutgers-Newark and our own, NewarkPulse.com and supported by Prudential and L&M brought together a scene that brought corporate workers out of their buildings to sip sangria on the street, college students posing in photo booths and local residents enjoying a mix of bands and DJ's and visiting their favorite businesses and even families were on-site with kids drawing with chalk and sampling foods. 

Here are some of the highlights:

Fashion Show by Marco Hall and SHE Boutique had models strutting their stuff down Bleeker Street!
