Voted one of MovieMaker Magazine’s “Coolest Film Festivals” in 2013, you may want to check out the Coney Island Film Festival for 2014! Taking place in Brooklyn, NY September 19-21, Edge Auto Rental encourages you to reserve your car rental today and make your plans now for this annual NYC event.
According to the festival website, the Coney Island Film Festival’s mission is to “raise funds for the non-profit arts organization Coney Island USA and to present an engaging and entertaining program of films in the heart of Brooklyn’s most storied neighborhood.” Film screenings take place in two locations: the famed Sideshows by the Seashore theater and the Coney Island Museum.
Here are more details so you can plan ahead:
Tickets
You can order tickets online at the Coney Island Film Festival website or at the Coney Island USA Gift Shop/Box Office. The festival’s organizers recommend purchasing your tickets in advance, because many programs sell out fast.
Nearby Attractions
If you want to make a day of it, get in your car rental and explore Brooklyn’s famed Coney Island neighborhood. Take time to walk the boardwalk, relax on the beach, or check out the amusement parks. You can also take advantage of nearby eateries, such as Grimaldi’s Pizza or Nathan’s Famous, but be sure to grab at least one hot dog in the name of Great American tradition.
Travel
You can take the subway if you are coming from another part of the city. Allow yourself plenty of time to do so, since weekend subway service can “be very erratic,” according to Coney Island Film Festival organizers.
If you want to travel at your own pace, rent a car for the day from Edge Auto Rental. With a car rental, you can come and go as you please at the festival, giving you more flexibility and peace of mind. Plus, if you come on a Sunday, meters are free (the meters run until 7 p.m. the other days). So whether you reserve a luxury rental car or pack all your friends into a van rental, call Edge Auto Rental of Brooklyn, NY at 212-947-3343.
