McCarren Park Pool Parties

It’s not summer in the city until the outdoor concerts open. JellyNYC brings the best and freshest musical talents to Williamburg, Brooklyn for its free concerts in McCarren Park, Williamsburg.The first show featured The Hold Steady and The Loved Ones who both brought down the house in the middle of serious scattered showers and lighting bolts.

The Loved Ones singer Dave Hause joins the crowd during his performance.

The always fashionably-hip local Williamsburg kids hang out on the edges of the pool.

This particular girl loves body surfing repeatedly on the audience.

Thunderstorms made huge puddles of water for people to waddle over to get to the food, beverage and porter-potty areas.

The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn enjoys performing for the 4000+ crowd.

The Hold Steady guitars are “watched over” by a noted actor.

These ladies share a moment with ice cold beers between band sets.

The scattered thunderstorms could not keep this 4000+ crowd away from the first 2008 Jelly NYC pool party
