The Celebrate Brooklyn concert series is held almost every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York.

Although most events start at 7pm, check the schedule since a few start earlier.

In its 29th year in hosting these events, the BRIC has expanded their horizons to include entertainers from Bollywood, Africa, Mexico, Ireland, and Spain. Also preforming are several Brooklyn area artists including Joan Osborne, and the band, The Hold Steady. Celebrate Brooklyn has truly become a worldly diverse series providing quality entertainment to all of their audiences.

Although free to the public, a $3 donation is accepted at the gate, and I strongly encourage you to contribute so that we may enjoy the same quality entertainment for years to come

Hey, this page is archived for the 2007 Summer Season,  check back later for the 2008 update.

The greatest season of the year is here. Summer isn’t the best because the weather is nice, its because thats when all the concerts come out. All year around people like me are feeling withdraw from an absence of seeing a live performance. I don’t know how everyone else deals with it, but I just convert my living room into a stage and have people come play my house.

But now its time to break free. Go out there and see a concert a weekend, its good for your health. Oh wait, these concerts do cost money. A typical band touring a large venue will usually demand anywhere from $40-$70 per ticket for the arenas, and outdoor shows like the PNC in Jersey and Jones Beach in Long Island. And if you try to see a mainstream band in a small venue such as the clubs in Manhattan, be ready to shell out a few hundred bucks. Me personally, I attend as many festivals as possible to see as many bands as I can for one price. For example, I heard over 100 bands at Bonnaroo in Tennessee with the admission cost of $200. $2 a band isn’t bad at all. Unfortunately, not everyone is up to living 4 days in the Tennessee mud, so thats not an option.

So how do you see a bunch of good bands cheap? Indulge yourself in the free concerts offered across Long Island and Manhattan.Here’s a list of free concerts in the New York City and Long Island area:
