Nice venue to see performances. Celebrate Brooklyn does a great job each summer putting on the performances. Unlike Central Park you are allowed to bring chairs and food. The benefit shows usually don't provide seats for the general population (people either stand near the front or sit in the grass). The free shows do have thousands of chairs (or bring your blanket or chair and sit in the grass. The grass slopes upwards providing good sightlines. Be environmental and bring a refillable water bottle as there are two water stations [it'll also save you buying the $5 "Liquid Death" cans of water]. There are two entrances to the venue- 9th St. and 11th St. 11th St. is much less busy and if there are long lines it is the better way to get in. Don't bring cans or bottles. There is security at the gates and they will confiscate them.

Super cool outdoor music venue in BK! Came here for the Still Woozy concert that was apart of Celebrate Brooklyn. Pro tip - if you buy a GA ticket, decide in advance if you want to stand in the main pit area or bring a picnic blanket and camp out on the grass (still a great view of the stage).

A nice outdoor experience. The sound of the Grace Jones concert was not very good but except that the layout of the venue is great

GRACE JONES & JANELLE MONAE at the LENA HORNE BANDSHELL was a REALLY GREAT PRIDE except for the ABSO-CLUELESS ticket guards at the seated entrance. Got there early but I still had to scramble to get to our 4th row seats.

Amazing experience the park is beautiful and if the timing is right you can get street parking with in walking distance. Very calm and family oriented. If you get there early enough you can find a tree with shade

I went here yesterday for Afropunk 2024! I had a great time. Aside from the food prices audio issues. My issue is with the landscape; a lot of area’s filled with sand (dust). There should be more grass in the area. Also, more sweeping in non-grass areas (like the main-stage). Hopefully Afropunk 2025 is done here too! Then, I can see the positive changes.

The Lena Horne Bandshell is such an awesome place to enjoy whatever activity is happening. Having attended two concerts there I must say the music sounds so good. I love the grass surrounding the stage area. It is well maintained. Very clean. Peaceful ambiance.
