HELP BRING OG BACK IN 2025

We want to bring back OG for a 6th season in 2025! But to do that we MUST rebuild our Musician Guarantee Fund, which allows us to pay a minimum respectful fee when crowd donations don't suffice (often). We need to raise $10,000, which will make possible 60, yes SIXTY, concerts next year, with all money flowing directly into the pockets of working local musicians.


 
 
Operation Gig! concerts sometimes get canceled because of weather conditions that aren't suitable for outdoor activities. Before you go to the concert, check the Operation Gig!'s website or Facebook page to see if it's been canceled.
 
Operation Gig! provides live music performances outdoors on weekends.
 
The series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park, started in July 2020 in order to offer a venue where musicians could perform during the pandemic. This provides them with a source of income and provides a safe space for people to gather to enjoy live music.
 
Although the performances are free, the suggested $10 donation to the musicians is more than welcome. Donate either at the performance itself or to the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund on GoFundMe.
 
Operation Gig t-shirts can be purchased here; the proceeds go to the Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund.
