Dreamland Brooklyn

DUMBO's Black Wall Street Marketplace

10,000 sq ft of curated culture on the 4th floor in DUMBO. Monthly Activation Saturdays featuring Front Stage Live programming, marketplace vendors, Front Stage interviews, and Nu Renaissance Lounge nights. Plus private bookings for brands, performers, and hosts year-round.

Why Dreamland?

A 10,000 sq ft platform for Black and Brown brands, artists, and entrepreneurs. We provide the space. You bring the vision.

The Platform

10,000 sq ft with 13-ft ceilings, skyline views, and waterfront energy. Monthly Activation Saturdays bring the community together. Between activations, the space is yours to book for your own events and showcases.

Historic Legacy

Named after Tulsa's Dreamland Theatre on Black Wall Street. We're building Brooklyn's modern engine of economic empowerment — one activation at a time.

Live Culture

Front Stage Live sessions. Founder interviews. Lounge Social sets. Three energy levels in one powerful day, once a month.

Your Hustle, Your Space

Dreamland provides the venue and the infrastructure. You provide your audience, your marketing, and your sales. We are your platform, not your promoter.

Direct Impact

Every dollar spent at Dreamland goes directly to the vendor, the artist, the entrepreneur. No middlemen. No extraction. Direct economic empowerment.

Book Anytime

Between Activation Saturdays, brands can book the space for private showcases, pop-ups, workshops, and events. Request your date and make the space work for you.
