Operation Gig! will provide outdoor, live music performances on Saturday and Sunday. The series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park, started in July 2020 to offer a venue where musicians could perform during the pandemic, while providing a safe space for people to gather to enjoy live music.
No entrance fee is charged, but donations to the musicians are welcome either at the performance or to the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund on GoFundMe.
