Brooklyn Bowl’s local showcase is back with more free music, workshops, cheap booze and even a bonus charity element. Local X Local returns Sunday, Sept. 19, with headliner Maluca, a rising star described as “tropical punk” on Diplo’s Mad Decent label and, of course, a NY-native. But get there early because the charity event for the Blue Ribbon MS Charity Bike Benefit runs from noon to 5 p.m., featuring helmet fittings, safety instructions and tire-changing workshops. And from 7 to 11 p.m., there’s free chips and salsa from The Brooklyn Salsa Company, $4 Brooklyn lagers and a special menu item made with fresh produce grown down the street at the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm. Donations are accepted but entry is free.
