 Consistently chosen by the press as New York City's best summer performance festival, Celebrate Brooklyn is praised for its wide array of eclectic live performances and film screenings, spectacular venue, and highly diverse audience that cannot be found anywhere else.
A program of BRIC/Brooklyn Information & Culture, Celebrate Brooklyn is one of New York City's longest-running, free, outdoor performing arts festivals, offering music, dance, film and spoken word at the Prospect Park Bandshell each summer. The main objective and inspiration of the festival is to "celebrate" the diverse and vibrant cultural life of Brooklyn through the performing arts.
Celebrate Brookly is a free eight-week performing arts festival and was recently named "Best Summer Series" by New York magazine, The Village Voice and The New York Press. Celebrate Brooklyn presents dance, music, spoken word and film to a culturally diverse audience of over 250, 000 people each summer.
Last year the festival had an impressive number of names on the poster, including Maceo Parker, TV on the Radio, Angelique Kidjo, Barrington Levy and Patrick Junior.
