NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn's flagship performing arts program for music, dance, film and spoken word, Celebrate Brooklyn! is one of New York City's longest running, free, outdoor performing arts festivals. Launched by BRIC in 1979 as a catalyst for a Brooklyn performing arts scene and to bring people back into Prospect Park after years of neglect, Celebrate Brooklyn! was an early anchor in the park's revitalization. Over the festival's history, over 2,000 artists and ensembles reflective of the borough's diversity—ranging from internationally acclaimed performers to emerging, cutting-edge artists—have been presented at Celebrate Brooklyn!

Performances are held at the Prospect Park Bandshell, with approximately 2,000 seats and a lawn that can accommodate over 6,000 more people. Except when indicated, all concerts are performed rain or shine.
