The Bandshell / Celebrate Brooklyn!

Summer! Prospect Park ! Concerts ! Yeah! Live music at outdoor venues is one of my favorite things to do and the Celebrate Brooklyn shows do not disappoint. Absolutely love this venue! 

Line up this photo w/ the stage like The Goonies did on the beach w/ the medallion . If you rather sit on the hill w/ a blanket during a show, go about halfway up in this exact location. Perfect spot.

Great venue. Bring a picnic and settle in early for a good spot. Alcohol can't be brought in but beer and wine can be purchased there.

thank you celebrate brooklyn and prospect park for one of my favorite places in all of ny! always a great summer line up and food from the farm on adderley . If show is free, go early for a seat

Celebrate Brooklyn! at Prospect Park Bandshell gets our vote for best park-based music series by rocking not only a virtuosic and varied lineup of acts, but also mouth-watering local Brooklyn food. Read more

The setting is amazing, especially on a nice summer night. Bring a blanket, some food and some friends, and grab a seat on the lawn. Make sure to come very early, as the line to get in can be crazy!

Amazing spot, and great free shows. Seats are a nice idea, but if it's a popular act everyone will crowd near the stage, and you will probably have to give up your seat if you want to see anything.

Thanks to Celebrate Brooklyn!, the Prospect Park Bandshell is to Brooklynites what Central Park SummerStage is to Manhattan residents—the place to hear great music in the great outdoors. Read more

Always easy to grab a spot on the grass next to the back of the actual venue to get a free seat for the show.

Look for silent film nights accompanied by innovative live music or spoken word performances . Pack a picnic or buy food from local, on-site vendors like the Farm on Adderley . Read more

Wow. I can't believe that this is free. The music is amazing. The park is gorgeous. . I'll be here every weekend.

Arrive early to stake out a picnic spot on the lawn. Bring blankets, food, and whatever else you need to have a great night with music and friends.

The space was good, loved the vibe and the sound, great god option too! Liked it better than Central Park concerts

Totally beats the pants off Rumsey Playfield in Central Park as an outdoor venue. Just wish there weren't so many seats up front. Some shows ya just gotta get off your tuchas!

Great music last night. Good food concession & great beers . I enjoyed a blanket on the lawn with friends, and then had no problem finding a seat to watch the main act.

Pack a picnic and arrive really early to snag a good blanket spot on the hill .

Go early when gates open to avoid the line that extends outside of the park . Otherwise bring a blanket and snacks and lounge right outside of the event space , skipping said line .

If you can't snag a ticket for the paid benefit shows in the summer, grab a blanket + friends and chill outside the walls, you'll still be able to hear fine. Look out for dancing children.

Love the summer series. Pack a picnic and arrive early to nab a spot on the grass up the back. Best seat in the house!

Since its founding in 1979, more than 2,000 musical acts have have performed at the Prospect Park Bandshell, which draws 250,000 people each summer to watch.

Come early for a good seat. Or even better but a membership. Great benefits and you also get he warm fuzzies from supporting a great Brooklyn happening.

Use the free bike valet to store your bike & helmet during the show - enter at 11th Street & Prospect Park West.

Ridiculously good sound for an outdoor venue, and the weirdos who come out of the woodwork are as entertaining to watch as the acts on stage.

If the concert is too pricey , join the rest of the millennials and sit on the nearby grass. You can still hear the band and the vibe is rad.

Great outdoor concert venue for Summer nights.

This was such a great, beautiful venue to see a show (especially Robert Plant!)! So easy to get to, too.

The Wood Brothers were amazing. Plus, Aoife O'Donovan signed my CD! (swoon)

No need to come early to shows. Always seats and great food and drink selections.

Pro tip: don't go into the festival , just sit behind the fence, enjoy the music and have a nice picnic

A great place to being a picnic and catch a show or outdoor movie .

Park yourself near the intoxicating aroma of the fries sizzling away at The Farm on Adderley !

Welcome to Celebrate Brooklyn! The arts have never been stronger or more vibrant here in New York City : http://bit.ly/18LOcF6

Stake out a spot stage right (house left) and you'll have groove space and short beer & bathroom lines all night.

One of the coolest venues to see a show. Small enough to be personal, but outdoors!

Great venue. Bring lawn chairs. Get there early and claim a spot.

Get here at least an hour and a half in advance if you want to see the concerts . The lines get really crazy.

One of the best if not THE best way to enjoy summer, friends & amazing music in Brooklyn!

great concerts , nice space!

Get there early for a good seat, or bring a blanket if you come later.

Celebrate Brooklyn is always a time for great fun and Prospect Park has so much to offer

A must if you are in Brooklyn during June-August!

Beautiful venue, great sound. The benefit shows are worth paying the extra cash to support the many free events they host all summer long.

Definitely become a Friend of Celebrate Brooklyn! for a more civilized experience.

Bring a picnic and listen to great music outdoors all summer long. $3 donation suggested.

Be respectful of your other concert goers- be a people not a sheeple!

Went to see Sonic Youth last Friday. They're still as mad as ever. Just with better equipment and better roadies than the old days. It was great. Only a few shows left.

Arrive early if it's a free show to snag a prime spot.

Try to get a seat around the sound booth . Acoustics get worse as you move left/right of the stage.

Get a friend pass for $50 - it lets you cut the long line all summer long!

Wheelchair seating is behind all the people standing in front. Try ( legal ) ADA seating line of sight viewing !!!
