The Planet Brooklyn festival, occurring on August 23 and 24, features a blend of free and ticketed events across several venues, including Barclays Center and BAM. Soca star Machel Montano headlines the event, embracing Brooklyn's cultural richness as his second home. The festival includes MUTHA, a micro-festival showcasing BIPOC talent, and a two-day block party celebrating local vendors and musical acts. With the motto to evoke emotion through creative expression, the festival promises a vibrant atmosphere reflecting the essence of Brooklyn's diversity.
Brooklyn has always felt like a second home to me... it’s a celebration of Caribbean spirit and unity. I can't wait to feel that energy again.
The festival will include a free two-day block party near each of the participating venues, designed to reflect Brooklyn's 'diversity and creativity.'
MUTHA highlights BIPOC talent and is hosted by Afro-Brazilian singer-songwriter Ludmilla, featuring performances from CupcakKe, Junglepussy, and Mykki Blanco.
The broader mission of the festival is to 'create meaning and evoke emotion through narrative and creative expression.'
