Sunshine, Fun Returns To Vanderbilt Open Streets In Prospect Heights

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — With the nasty weather gone, a weekend of music and neighborhood fun is on the menu this weekend for Prospect Heights' vaulted Vanderbilt Avenue Open Streets.

On Saturday and Sunday, you can catch DJ sets, a classical guitar performance or a drag show. There's something for everyone, courtesy of the Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, the main sponsor and neighborhood group who keeps the streets operating.

Here's a full list of what you can find on Vanderbilt Avenue this weekend:

• Seniority, a R&B band, will be playing between Pacific and Dean Streets at 2 p.m. Saturday.
