BP Adams announces tribute celebration of Prince at Fort Greene Park
Event slated for Friday
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has announced that he will host a celebration of Prince, the global music icon who passed away last week at the age of 57, this Friday at Fort Greene Park.
The salute, organized in partnership with NYC Parks, Fort Greene Conservancy and Councilmember Laurie A. Cumbo, will begin at 5 p.m. with a concert of DJs playing three hours of his music, followed by a screening of his cult classic film “Purple Rain” at 8 p.m.
Adams spoke about the borough’s love for the entertainment legend and his hope that the gathering would give Brooklynites an opportunity to connect in their mutual fandom.
