If you haven’t yet experienced the yard of modified, food and booze-slinging shipping containers on Fourth Avenue, there’s no better time than this weekend.

The Boxyard is making it official with a grand opening celebration from 1 p.m. – 2 a.m., Saturday, May 4 and 2 p.m. – 10 p.m., Sunday, May 5.

It’s the first development of its kind on the avenue with 10 repurposed shipping containers on a 12,000-square-foot lot. Since opening in January, three restaurants have signed on, including Percheron Mexican Grill, BXQ (Bronx BBQ), and Nhu Lan Vietnamese Food.

To get the ball rollin’ — as if it already hasn’t — there’s going to be plenty of live music with local bands and DJs. There’s also live screen printing with  CREAM Design and Print, drink specials, and a Pop ‘N Swap Market.

Take a glance at the schedule to be sure you don’t miss out on any of the fun.
