Brooklyn’s hottest summer concert series is warming things with a rare winter dance party at the Bell House on Feb. 7.
The cold-weather concert, featuring funk band Soulive (pictured), is part-party, part-development event for Brooklyn Information & Culture, the not-for-profit that has staged the Celebrate Brooklyn shows at the Prospect Park bandshell since 1979.
“We’re going into Brooklyn’s newest and most fantastic venue with a fun social event. There’s no pretense. Just come and dance your ass off,” said Jack Walsh, executive director of Celebrate Brooklyn.
But don’t forget your wallet. Unlike the majority of the summer performances, which are usually free, it will cost $15 to get in.
“We’re not making any money on this. We’re just covering our costs and hoping that people will keep us in mind [for future donations],” Walsh said.
Celebrate Brooklyn’s Winter Dance Party at the Bell House (149 Seventh St., between Second and Third avenues), Feb. 7, 9 pm. Tickets are $15 ($50 for VIPs). Visit www.briconline.org/celebrate to purchase ducats.
