In addition to the free Jelly Pool Parties, the Open Space Alliance will be presenting a series of ticketed concerts this summer at the Williamsburg Waterfront (aka East River State Park).
The Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn is a not-for-profit which, through fund raising and working with the community, elected officials and the New York City Parks Department, furthers the restoration and preservation of the existing parks as well as the development of new parks in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg communities, weaving these several green spaces into a tapestry of parks as a resource for the people of New York City.

* Last night at the end of their Brooklyn Bowl show, Eugene Hutz announced that Primus and Gogol Bordello would be playing the Williamsburg Waterfront in July. It remains to be seen however, whether he was talking about a free Pool Party or an Open Space Alliance show.
