There’s a new kids event called JAM ON DUMBO, “a monthly concert series for kids of all ages, and the hottest family event in Brooklyn this winter. Each month, we will invite Brooklyn to dance along with us as we showcase two kids’ bands. Balloons, face painting, and other festive activities will add to the party atmosphere.”

“Over the years, DUMBO has evolved from a cutting-edge community of artists into an artistic playground for our neighborhood children. Art- and music-based programs thrive thanks to the dedication and financial support of local residents and businesses. We view these efforts as essential to the soul of our community, and we want to help nurture DUMBO’s unique artistic spirit.”

A group of neighborhood parents has made it their mission to develop a not-for-profit concert series for kids and families. Their goal is to invite the rest of Brooklyn to Dumbo for this concert series. Their first concert will be Feb. 27, 2011, at Water Street Restaurant, from 3 to 6 p.m. There will be two more concerts this winter, held on March 27 and April 17. Fun!
