Events We Love :: Celebrate Brooklyn
Celebrate Brooklyn! is one of New York City’s longest running, free, outdoor performing arts festivals. Launched in 1979 as a catalyst for a Brooklyn performing arts scene and to bring people back into Prospect Park after years of neglect, Celebrate Brooklyn! has been an anchor in the park’s revitalization and has become one of the city’s foremost summer cultural attractions. Over its history, Celebrate Brooklyn! has presented over 1,700 artists and ensembles reflective of the borough’s diversity, ranging from internationally acclaimed performers to emerging, cutting-edge artists. All Celebrate Brooklyn! performances are free! The festival attracts upwards of 250,000 attendees from across New York City to the Prospect Park Bandshell each summer. Celebrate Brooklyn! has a well developed membership program with over 500 seasonal members. Benefits of membership include express entry, reserved seating, pre-concert receptions and more.

shows we love :: little dragon at lpr / review
On Saturday November 21st Little Dragon performed at one of NYC premiere live venues, Le Poisson Rouge, located in the West Village. This was LD’s third time playing this venue and it is apparent that their popularity has grown tremendously. The crowd was enthusiastic and completely in the moment. I was fortunate enough to catch all 3 of the NY shows in the last year. This was their best showing thus far. The band was rock solid and lead singer Yukimi Nagano’s voice was as smooth as silk. Little Dragon’s sound is refreshing and just what their fans needed. Can’t wait to catch them the next time they are in town. Text & photos by guest blogger Alaric S. Campbell (www.alaricphoto.com)
