The 2014 free Prospect Park show schedule is here!

Oh man, it’s definitely time to celebrate. via Facebook

After this long miserable winter, we needed some kind of bright burst of color to lift our spirits. Don’t bother looking outside, look right here on this screen because you can finally start planning your summer around the free Celebrate Brooklyn Prospect Park shows. The folks at BRIC really topped themselves this year, snagging not only Janelle Monae for the opening night show, but also grabbing St. Vincent, The Dum Dum Girls, Deltron 3030 and Talib Kweli among others for the summer’s free shows. Full lineup below, and judging by this at least, it’s gonna be a good summer.

All shows listed are free (suggested donation $3); shows with the $$$ next to them are paid ticketed shows.
