Celebrate Brooklyn Celebrating 30 Year, Free Music

Brooklyn’s free summer concert series, Celebrate Brooklyn turns 30 this summer. 30 amazing years of free music in the city. Who’s better to start it off then Issac Hayes on June 12th.

The event is still held at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York. A donation of $3 is recommended to allow there to be a 31st anniversary. A few are benefit shows and require tickets to be purchased ahead of time, with proceeds going to charities.
