Celebrate Brooklyn!

Welcome to Celebrate Brooklyn!'s 35th Season at the Prospect Park Bandshell

Still free after 35 years! We are happy to announce our 35th season which will celebrate our deep roots in the borough and lay down new ones. We’re bringing back iconic trailblazers like Philip Glass and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and welcoming rising Brooklyn stars The Lone Bellow and Javelin. Two extraordinary ballet companies will grace our stage, and classic and new films with original live scores will light up our giant screen. From Mavis Staples to The Tiger Lillies to Shaggy to Dan Deacon and Eddie Palmieri, the entire line-up covers dozens of creative canvases and cultures—it’s as diverse and dynamic as Brooklyn itself. Check out the full line-up here.
