I wonder if the schedule is already available for this year's concerts in the park. I went on their web-site and found nothing.

I do, however know that They Might Be Giants will be doing a free family concert at the Prospect Park Bandshell as part of Celebrate Brooklyn on
Saturday July 11 at 4pm

    hubby told me today that Bonnie Raitt will be there also, not sure if she is on the list

    She will be there, but it's a paid benefit. Lawn seats are $40 (closer are more, obv.), and I believe on on sale Friday. Jackson Browne and MGMT are also paid concerts.

    There are a lot more benefit concerts (the ones they charge for) since a couple of big sponsors (starbucks and WaMu) won't be there.

    I am gonna sound like a cliche but I am fondly remembering years back when Celebrate Brooklyn was a series of concerts with interesting line up of Artists and a small suggested donation. It is what it is now and I did lay out the bucks to see Dylan last summer but too bad so many of the concerts are higher tocketed events.

    i would imagine that regardless of the "bigness" of the names playing, it's expensive to outfit the space, provide A/V needs, security, etc., and the lack of sponsors means someone's got to pay for it, thus the increase is paying concerts. I for one will go see any concert if I get to lie in the grass, eat my own food, be surrounded by the awesomeness of PP and sneak in my own wine, so I'm a little sad that there may be less free ones this year. But, the full lineup's not out, so maybe we'll all be nicely surprised!

    I don't think $40 is a lot to pay to see some of the bigger named stars, not at all.

    $40 is not a lot at all. And I don't think they're being greedy. Putting on 'free' shows costs a small fortune. The insurance alone must be prohibitively expensive. With sponsors dropping out, they have to look for additional revenue at the gate. Plus, the line-up is really good this year. Much better than the Summerstage schedule.

    Does anybody know if the showed the movie this past Saturday? I have gone to movie screenings in the past unless for it to be cancelled (although it stopped raining earlier in the day).
