Brooklyn Paper
Let’s Celebrate, and have a good
time!
Brooklyn’s biggest outdoor music
series, the Bric Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival,
will kick off on June 4 with an appearance
from American gospel legend
Patti LaBelle! The diva’s epic opener will
be followed by a stellar lineup of 21 free
musical performances, two films screenings,
a pair of dance shows, and five paid
concerts to help pay the bills. Columbia’s
Bomba Estereo will close out the series
on Aug. 10.
Those who really want to support the
free music series can stop by the Revel
fund-raising gala that will precede the
opening show. The party, at the Prospect
Park Bandshell at 5:30 pm, before
LaBelle’s performance, will honor Bric’s
outgoing chairwoman Hilary Ackermann.
Tickets start at $750.
Those who want to support the series
a little less can drop a suggested $5 into
the buckets at the entrances to each of
the summer’s 21 free concerts.
To help you plan your summer, here
is the full schedule:
All events at Prospect Park Bandshell

West in Park Slope, (718) 683–5600,
