Why Volunteer at Celebrate Brooklyn?
The Bandshell in Prospect Park is a wonderful setting for outdoor performances. You’ll have fun while helping in a variety of ways at our music, film, and dance performances. Through Volunteering you can connect with the cultural life of your community, meet new people and work together to make something incredible happen.
Dedicated volunteers play an integral role in the staging of Celebrate Brooklyn! The time and assistance you contribute over the course of the summer will make this year’s Celebrate Brooklyn! Performing Arts Festival the best yet!
