’BEST’ GOLF

’BEST’ GOLF

This weekend, Borough President Marty Markowitz
will host an entertainment festival that’s as unique as the man
himself.



"’BrooklynBest’ is a cultural smorgasbord," confirmed
Markowitz at the press preview on June 1. "From the coolest
new music to cutting-edge fashion to dynamic literary talent
and breathtaking fireworks, ’BrooklynBest’ illustrates why Brooklyn
is the proud creative capital of New York City.



"Whether you’re 3, 33 or 93, there will be something that
floats your boat at Grand Army Plaza or at one of our fabulous
Heart of Brooklyn institutions [Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park,
Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Botanic
Garden and Brooklyn Public Library’s Central branch]."



Among the highlights: on June 4 is a fireworks display at 8:45
pm, visible from Prospect Park’s Longmeadow; and on June 5, the
attractions include a traveling miniature golf course (an artist’s
rendering of one of the holes is pictured at left); a "Five
Borough Indie Battle of the Bands" from 2 to 6 pm in Grand
Army Plaza; and readings for children and adults by Jonathan
Ames, Carl Rux, Jon Scieszka and others, from 1 to 4 pm, at the
library’s Grand Army Plaza branch.



The Brooklyn-themed mini golf course will be set up at Prospect
Park’s Bailey Fountain from noon to 6 pm on Sunday. The fee to
play is $1 for kids and $2 for adults; and proceeds will benefit
Camp Brooklyn.
