On Saturday, September 26, there will be an Americana/Roots/Alt Country call-it-what-you-like (I like it) music festival in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It will happen from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Granite Terrace on the landward side of Pier 3 (not to be confused with the Granite Prospect on Pier 1) and admission is free. There will be six groups performing, including the M Shanghai String Band (photo). It’s free and there are more details here. Also on Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on Pier 1’s Harbor View Lawn there will be an Autumn Moon Festival, “the 2nd largest holiday celebrated throughout Asia.” It’s free, and there’s more information here. Saturday is also International Coastal Cleanup Day, and if you want to help clean up the Park’s shoreline (wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty) please RSVP here (directions included).
