New York City’s longest-running, free, outdoor performing arts festival is approaching. Beginning on June 4, thousands of music lovers will enjoy this year’s BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! live offerings.
Among the jam-packed 2026 BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! lineup, there is a wide array of genre offerings, including world, Americana, alternative, electric, rap, reggae, jazz, R&B, pop, and more. What’s even more special is that the 2026 BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! lineup features dozens of independent recording artists.
To name a few independent acts, Common, Sleater-Kinney, Lila Iké, EMEL, and Lucía are all prominently featured during an upcoming free BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! event.
BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! will take place from June 4 until September 19, 2026. Each of the official BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! shows takes place at the Lena Horne Bandshell at Prospect Park, located at 141 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, New York, unless otherwise noted. Pop-up BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! shows will be held at Brower Park in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! shows are free and open to the public except benefit shows. The benefit shows require a ticket for entry.
