Punk Rock Mini-Golf is returning to Staten Island’s Maker Park from June 1-2 and June 1-8. The event is celebrating four years of providing Staten Island with mini-golf and live music.
The event’s main draw is its 9-hole mini-golf course dedicated to punk rock legends. Each hole celebrates a legendary punk rock act, such as the Cramps, Bad Brains, and the Clash. The course features artwork by local Staten Island artists with new additions being made every year. Alongside mini-golf, the event will feature live performances from local punk bands starting at 6 PM each night.
On top of golf and live music, the event will feature food and drinks from local vendors. Bearded Barbecue and The Burrito Bar will provide food, and Flagship Brewery and Killsboro Brewery will provide beverages.
The event is hosted by Maker Park Radio, a non-profit radio station centered in Staten Island. Since 2017, Maker Park has provided a safe space for discussion of the arts and a medium for up-and-coming artists and musicians. Maker Park is a 100% volunteer-based organization, helping to spread music awareness, and providing professional workshops for the community. Proceeds from this event will go to supporting Maker Park Radio’s continued community involvement.
“I love seeing families with kids of varied ages walking in looking skeptical, and walking out with big smiles on their faces.”
– Kristin Wallace, Maker Park Radio Founder
