New York City's longest running, free, outdoor performing arts festival. Get to know more of us at bricacrtsmedia.org/bcb.
Behind every show is a team that makes it all possible. We asked our photographers to turn their lenses on the people who bring this festival to life.

These are just some of the folks who keep #CelebrateBrooklyn going strong as NYC’s longest-running free performing arts festival.
