Hire festival staff
in Brooklyn.
Reliable, weather-tested staff for festival season nationwide — Coachella, Stagecoach, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, EDC, Art Basel and more.
Manhattan is the busiest single brand market in the country. Three engines in parallel: the Javits Center trade-show calendar (NRF Big Show, NY NOW, ICFF, NYCC), the financial-services corporate axis (FiDi up through Park Avenue), and the Fashion Week / retail flagship corridor (Soho, Fifth Avenue, Hudson Yards, Meatpacking). Outside Manhattan we cover Brooklyn (Williamsburg / DUMBO / Barclays / Industry City), Queens (Citi Field, USTA Billie Jean King for the US Open, LIC waterfront), and the Bronx (Yankee Stadium). NYC roster is built for on-camera stakes — working actors, Equity hosts, runway-experienced models, about 50% bilingual or trilingual talent. All staff are 100% W-2 and NY Department of Labor compliant.

Showcraft serves Brooklyn and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Brooklyn is NYC's most active borough for experiential brand work outside Manhattan — Williamsburg and DUMBO drive year-round pop-up and CPG launch activity, Barclays Center hosts the Nets, the Liberty, and major brand activations, the Brooklyn Navy Yard hosts warehouse-format productions, and Industry City keeps creative-corridor brand experiences in steady rotation. We staff brand ambassadors and demo crews for Williamsburg / DUMBO retail launches, sponsor-zone activations at Barclays Center, warehouse-pop-up crews for Brooklyn Navy Yard and Industry City, and on-camera-comfortable hosts for premieres at BAM and Brooklyn Steel. Roster runs heavily bilingual EN/ES with strong Russian, Mandarin, and Polish pools for borough demographics. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Brooklyn buyers ask about festival staff.
Does Showcraft staff festivals in Brooklyn and New York City?+
Yes. We staff festivals throughout New York City — music, food, cultural, brand-activation festivals — with weather-tested staff who can handle multi-day shifts, sun and heat, and the chaos of festival ops. We also send seasoned captains who have run festival staffing before and know the load-in flow.
Are your Brooklyn festival staff comfortable with long, weather-exposed shifts?+
Yes. Our Brooklyn festival roster is filtered for stamina and weather tolerance — we surface only staff who have worked outdoor multi-day shifts before. Hydration breaks, shade rotations, and shift swaps are coordinated by an on-site Showcraft captain throughout the festival run.
How early do you need to know about a Brooklyn festival booking?+
For peak festival season in New York City, 4-6 weeks is ideal. Standard fill for a 10-30 person crew is 2-3 weeks. We can rush-fill smaller crews in under a week with a surcharge. The earlier you lock the brief, the more we can pre-train on your sponsor activations and brand standards.
Are your Brooklyn festival staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every festival staffer Showcraft sends to a Brooklyn booking is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and auto coverage. COIs are issued naming the festival, venue, and sponsor as additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
