VISITING the FESTIVAL

The Backlot Festival ranges over the whole of the Kaufman Arts District, Queens’ first dedicated arts district comprising 24 blocks in lower Astoria.

The district is conveniently located just a few stops from Midtown on the M, R, N, & W lines of the NYC Subway.

Our festival check-in booth will be located adjacent to the backlot at Kaufman Astoria Studios, on 36th Street @ 35th Ave in Astoria.

All satellite festival venues are a short walk from the Backlot itself.
