Free Summer Concerts at Windgate Field

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz hosts the 2012 Martin Luther King Jr. Free concert series.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Concert Series presents Free musical concerts that reflect the African-American contribution to our cultural heritage. During the summer, usually on a Monday Night in July and August, seven concerts are staged (weather permitting) at Brooklyn’s Wingate Field. The series began in 1982.
