Celebrate Brooklyn
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
