All of MMNY’s permits have been filed, and it’s too late to add more performances to the schedule this year.
However, there are two exceptions: if you’re still looking for a place to perform, two prime stretches of Brooklyn streets already have their permits for June 21st, and still need musicians!
(1) Four blocks of Vanderbilt Ave in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, will be closed to traffic and open for pedestrians on June 21st, from 12-5pm. All types of music are welcome for their main stage, and for sidewalks in front of stores and restaurants along the four blocks, who can provide electricity. (Music should not be extremely loud, however.) To sign up, call Steve Commender at (718) 398-7380. Sponsored by the Vanderbilt Avenue Merchants District, Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, and the NYC Department of Transportation.
(2) The entire retail strip of Graham Avenue in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is permitted and available for musicians throughout the day. To make arrangements, contact Betty Cooney, at biz11u72t@verizon.net. Sponsored by the Graham Avenue Business Improvement District.
