Brace yourselves. There are so many fantastic things to do this weekend, it will be hard to commit to just one.

First, there’s cabbage head: one Hungarian artist’s riff on his national dish, stuffed cabbage, cooked up by the Hungarian Cultural Center for a group show at this weekend’s 11th annual Art Under the Bridge Festival in Dumbo. From Friday through Sunday, some 150,000 visitors are expected at this Burning Man for experimental public art. A green theme ties together many of the 60 artworks on view this year — at the Hungarians’ show, for instance, a DIY station is set up to make handbags and notebooks from recycled materials. Other intriguing installations include a tent for a chamber music ensemble “worn” by six women (you actually walk beneath their skirts), and nighttime projections by Illegal Art, the collective behind the Post-It project on Front St.

There are also 158 open studios, an attendant dance festival, and the Brooklyn Arts Council opening of “Site Matters,” a group exhibit of site-relevant work including the photography of Ethan Levitas, featured on our homepage. (If you click to enlarge it, you can see how massive it really is.) On Sat. from 1:30 to 3 in the BAC’s gallery (55 Washington Street, Suite 218) Sheryl Oring will be dictating letters from gallery guests to the future president as part of her interactive performance piece, “I Wish To Say.” Find the arts fest sked at dumboartscenter.org, and the dance lineup at whitewavedance.com.

On Sunday in Dumbo, you can also participate in Bubby’s Pie Social, a fund-raising event for NYC public schools. Tickets entitle you to taste sweet and savory pies (as many as 75 last year). Details on their site: bubbys.com.

Also on Sunday, from 10am-6pm, the 33rd Atlantic Antic will turn ten blocks on Atlantic Ave., from 4th Ave. to Hicks St., into a pony-riding, funnel-cake eating, belly-dancing extravaganza. Click here for details: atlanticave.org.

Nearby, another important community event is set for Saturday, when the author of the Atlantic Yards Report, Norman Oder, and Pratt Center for Community and Environmental Development founder and former NYC Planning Commissioner Ron Shiffman, will lead a tour of the Atlantic Yards footprint as part of eight Jane Jacobs walks throughout the city this weekend (including one led by Adam Gopnik in the West Village!), timed to the opening of the Municipal Arts Society’s exhibit “Jane Jacobs and the Future of New York.” The self-taught urban activist, who helped block Robert Moses from wrecking Soho and the Lower East Side by running an expressway through them, would no doubt be outraged at the lack of public say over Ratner’s plan for Brooklyn. All the more reason to get out and become engaged, since the fight isn’t over. The tour begins at 2pm at Hanson and Ashland Pls. centerforthelivingcity.org

In Prospect Heights, check out the brand-new Dr. S. Stevan Dweck Center for Contemporary Culture beneath the new plaza at the Central Brooklyn Public Library. The Big Apple Circus will christen the nearly 200-seat auditorium Saturday at 1pm, and will be followed by events throughout the weekend, like BOMB magazine’s Sunday panel with authors Nathan Englander and Rivka Galchen. brooklynpubliclibrary.org

Down the block, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden will host its annual Chile Pepper Fiesta on Sunday, featuring dance, world music, films, and cooking demos like The Art of Indian Chutney Making. Kids can make their own spice blends, paint with chile pepper dyes, and make chile mobiles. Details at bbg.org.
