  • Celebrate Brooklyn — Arts Festival in Brooklyn

    Prospect Park Bandshell 9th Street & Prospect Park West, New York, NY, United States

    Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music is his most ambitious project to date, a subjective history of the 240 years since America’s founding told through the music of the times. For his very special Celebrate Brooklyn! debut, he’ll present a supercharged slice of this project: a politically-knowing, enormous of spirit, and outrageously entertaining romp through 100 years of culture as seen through songs that range from Tin Pan Alley to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll to disco and beyond.

    Metrotech Commons 5 MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, New York, United States

  • Joseph Alexiou on Gowanus: Brooklyn’s Curious Canal

    Brooklyn Historical Society 128 Pierrepont St , Brooklyn, NY, United States

    Joseph Alexiou's forthcoming book, Gowanus: Brooklyn's Curious Canal, narrates more than three hundred years in the history of our borough's most compelling former industrial waterway. From idyllic oyster beds to dumping grounds for toxic waste, Gowanus is intrinsically linked to Brooklyn's industrial and agricultural past. In celebration of his book’s release, Alexiou will discuss the parallels in today's Gowanus real estate rush with that of the 1860s, which coincided with Brooklyn's rapid industrial transformation.
