Operation Gig! provides live music performances outdoors on weekends.
 
Concerts are canceled when weather conditions aren't suitable for outdoor activities. Before heading to a concert, check the Operation Gig! website to make sure it's still scheduled to take place.
  
The concert series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park since July 2020, was created in order to offer a venue for musicians to perform during the COVID-19 pandemic. The series provides them with a source of income as well as providing a safe space for neighbors to gather to enjoy live music.
 
The performances are free, but a suggested donation of $10--which goes directly to the musicians--is more than welcome. Donate either at the performance or online at the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund page on GoFundMe.
