The Roots, Blackalicious, And More Celebrate Brooklyn Shows In Prospect Park This Week

Another week of summer, another chance to catch great live music in Prospect Park thanks to that Celebrate Brooklyn. The Roots show tonight is a benefit (which helps keep the other shows free), but if you didn’t get tickets, you can always sit in the park nearby to catch some overflow tunes. And if you were looking forward to Big Boi, there’s good news and bad news. Bad news: he canceled. Good news: you get Blackalicious instead!

From how to get there to what you’re allowed to bring to what kind of food is served, see our post that covers all you need to know.
