Celebrate Brooklyn! 2008

This year Celebrate Brooklyn! turns 30, and there's even a YouTube video in honor of the occasion. The summer-long event series begins on Thursday, June 12, and I'm looking forward (along with a few thousand other Brooklynites, I'm sure) to seeing some of the great acts that are lined up.

Celebrate Brooklyn! will kick off on Thursday with a performance by music icon Isaac Hayes. The concert, held in the Prospect Park Bandshell, will start at 8pm (the space will open at 6:30pm).
