As yet I am not sure exactly where, but it should be on an exterior wall. I am hoping it will be near the corner of the building so that it will be visible from Amsterdam Ave. I picked this location because it was the only place that I saw mentioned on this page. As a non-local I did not want to presume to pick a Danfest site, much less try to host anything. And while the Amsterdam Ale House is a logical location, we are under no obligation of course.
