Now in its 47th year, BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! presents a summer of amazing concerts under the theme Radical Joy, because the full richness of New York City’s cultural life is here for everyone, free of charge, in the heart of Brooklyn. Our 2026 season offers one of the most women-forward lineups in the festival’s history, reflecting BRIC’s commitment to equity and the remarkable depth of talent across genders and genres. The theme also celebrates an inclusive perspective on our national moment. This season is built around the communities that make up America: their music, their stories, and their presence on an outdoor Brooklyn stage all summer long. In their name, we mount that next hill in the name of the groove. Radical Joy is how we build up and how we get down.
Most BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! shows are presented free of charge. RSVP to let us know you’re coming and be entered for a chance to win two VIP tent passes!
