Also featuring Mark Cedar & Friends
Thursday, August 14
Transmitter Park, Brooklyn
Greenpoint Avenue & the East River waterfront
Grab picnic blankets and join us at Transmitter Park this Thursday for a fabulous performance by Mark Cedar & Friends at 6:30 PM. Mark will perform with Juan Wust, a Cuban born master of the classical guitar, doing Garcia inspired Americana and originals. (You can check out Mark Cedar & Friends on Facebook.)
The live show will be followed by Pacific Rim (think Godzilla meets the Transformers!) at sunset. Fun for kids of all ages! The show and movie are totally FREE!
Enjoy the beautiful Brooklyn waterfront with the gorgeous Manhattan skyline with good friends and family. Just can't get better!

Can't resist sharing a few awesome photos from last week's SummerStarz. Here's a huge shout-out to our hardworking crew, Alex Santullo and Greg Monaco, and Kamil Skorniewski (aka Mr. Handy) who not only designed and installed the rigging but also came out last Thursday with his wife and newborn baby to lend a hand! We also thank our sponsors and supporters: NYS Senator Daniel Squadron, NYS Assemblyman Joe Lentol, NYC CM Stephen Levin & NYC CM Antonio Reynoso, Brooklyn Expo Center, Greenpoint Landing, Jack & Evelyn Guttman, North Brooklyn Boathouse, NYC DYCD & Warner Bros Entertainment, Inc.
