About this event
Common headlines a tribute to Harry Belafonte's activism, staged by Celebrate Brooklyn! with The Action Lab and billed with unnamed special guests. Expect spoken word and speakers alongside the music. A rapper of Common's standing playing a free park show is rare, and this one carries the weight of the occasion, so plan on arriving well before the 18:00 start.
Why we picked it
A major hip-hop headliner playing free, on a bill with real civic significance for Brooklyn.
