Hosted by Borough President Marty Markowitz, and sponsored by
Boar's Head, Key Food, Target, National Grid, Forest City Ratner, Barclays Center, and Nets Basketball, this popular free concert series was forced to move from the
prior location in Asser Levy / Seaside Park due to opposition from neighbors.
Where are the other Asser Levy Park Concerts?
The Coney Island location has has replaced the Thursday Night shows.
As far as we know, Council Member Recchia's Tuesday night concerts
will not take place this year.
What about the Canarsie Pier concerts?
We asked the National Parks Service if those were going to happen.
We have received no response from them.
When is the Siren Music Festival?
SirenFest's sponsor, The Village Voice, decided to drop SirenFest and are instead
doing a music event at South Street Seaport called 4Knots.
No SirenFest at
Coney
anymore.
