Yo, b-boys and b-girls! In case you didn’t know, BK Reader has the 411 on what’s poppin’ in Brooklyn: THE best and most robust events calendar in Kings County!
Because today, Aug. 11, is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop and you’re special, BK Reader has pulled together our picks of the hottest events in Brooklyn to keep you entertained all weekend long.
Hip-hop started at a back-to-school block party hosted by DJ Kool Herc and his sister in the Bronx in 1973, and has influenced New York City's culture ever since. Not to brag, but our events calendar is equally hot.
Don't take our word for it: Go here to check out the calendar and see for yourself!! And, oh yeah, feel free to upload your events here too!
