Lineup announced for 38th annual BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival
Festival to Run June 8 – Aug. 13 at Prospect Park Bandshell
BRIC has announced the lineup for its 38th annual BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival, which returns this year under a new name and will comprise 30 performances, from June 8 to Aug. 13. The programming will feature a wide array of free, world-class performances in the singular environs of the Prospect Park Bandshell.
When it began in 1979 as a catalyst for a burgeoning Brooklyn performing arts scene, and as a way to bring people back into Prospect Park after years of neglect, the festival was an early anchor in Brooklyn’s renaissance. It has since become one of the city’s foremost summer cultural attractions. Winner of the Village Voice readers’ poll and critics’ picks for “Best Free Concert Series,” the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival is New York City’s longest-running summer outdoor performance festival.
Over its 37-year history, the festival has presented more than 2,000 artists, drawing a diverse audience upwards of 200,000 each season.
