BRIC’s Celebrate Brooklyn! 4 Things to Know

BRIC has been officially celebrating Brooklyn for more than 40 years now across the media and cultural landscape. BRIC promotes the creativity and success of various media makers, artists, students, and creators. And from June through August, BRIC also celebrates Brooklyn with its summer-long experience, showcasing all things arts and creativity with free performances that draw in more than 250,000 festival guests every summer. Here’s what else you need to know so you can enjoy BRIC’s Celebrate Brooklyn!, too.

When and Where You Can Celebrate Brooklyn!

Come to the Lena Horne Bandshell at Prospect Park all summer long to experience live entertainment, discover incredible artists, and celebrate Brooklyn. It’s entirely free, and there are performances available all summer long, meaning you’ll always have something fun to do! Beginning earlier in June, these celebratory get-togethers will be happening through August 6th. You can check the posted performances and begin arriving one hour prior.

There is seating available up close at the Bandshell. But festival attendees are also encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets for lawn seating. Reserved seating is also available for Friends of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! members, donors, and special guests. If you’d like to explore memberships, you can click here to learn more
