Celebrate Brooklyn! 2023 Performance Schedule
NYC Celebrate Brooklyn! is a free outdoor performing arts festival that has been running since 1979 in Prospect Park. It is one of the city’s most popular summer events, attracting hundreds of thousands of people every year. The festival is organized by BRIC, a Brooklyn-based art and media organization, in collaboration with the Prospect Park Alliance. The festival features a wide variety of artists, from world-renowned musicians to emerging indie bands, as well as dance, theater, film and more. The 2023 edition of the festival will have more than 30 performances from June 7 to August 24. Some of the highlights include Taj Mahal and Corinne Bailey Rae on opening night, NxWorries (Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge) in a benefit concert, JOE and Stokely in a Juneteenth UNITYFEST, Antonio Sánchez performing a live drum score for the Birdman film screening, and The Head And The Heart on closing night.
June 7 Updated: Opening Night Cancelled due to the Canadian Wildfire Effect on NYC’s Air Quality:
“”Due to the unprecedented air quality situation in New York, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn!’s Opening Night: Taj Mahal | Corinne Bailey Rae | The Harlem Gospel Travelers. The health of our staff and the communities we serve is the number one priority for BRIC and we can’t, in good conscience, risk the wellbeing of our friends and neighbors who may have high risk health issues.””
