About this event
Rapper, actor and author Common headlines an evening built around Harry Belafonte's social justice legacy, joined by special guests at the bandshell named for Lena Horne. Expect a set that moves between hip-hop, spoken word and civil-rights songbook material, played to a park crowd on a late-summer Brooklyn evening.
Why we picked it
A Grammy- and Oscar-winning headliner playing a genuinely free park show - the kind of booking most cities would charge heavily for.
Free entry
