Summer is officially here, and we tolerate the smelly subway rides in exchange for rewards like the Celebrate Brooklyn! concert series at the Prospect Park Bandshell. This year’s stellar season kicks off with a free performance by Andrew Bird, a classically-trained musician who combines vocals, violins, guitar, glockenspiel, and whistling to produce a unorthodox sound that has captivated crowds on the music festival circuit for years. The concert starts at 8pm, but get there when the gates open at 6:30 to guarantee a spot.
