Granddaddy of boro’s outdoor concert series, Celebrate Brooklyn returns for its 34th year
Outdoor concerts have long been a staple of summer in Brooklyn, alongside the trips to Coney Island, open fire hydrants, barbecues and that incessant ice cream truck jingle coming through our windows.
After 34 years, the free open-air concerts at Prospect Park are one of the longest standing of these musical emblems of summer.
Every summer the Prospect Park Bandshell hosts a slew of artists, famous and not, including big names from across the musical spectrum: from Café Tacuba to Philip Glass, Kid Koala to Goran Bregovic, to Brooklyn´s own KRS-ONE, Norah Jones and They Might Be Giants. Every year the space also hosts many theater, dance and orchestral pieces, including the Brooklyn Philharmonic.
