Amazzzzing concerts and museums this week

check out the calendar at your right for the complete list :P

Janelle Monae
Where: Prospect Park Bandshell
When: 8pm
The Celebrate Brooklyn! outdoor concert series returns with a show from propulsive soul-pop stylist Janelle Monáe. The singer, known for her glamorous androgynous style, recently covered David Bowie's "Heroes" for Beats of the Beautiful Game, a visual soundtrack for the World Cup. Arrive early if you want to snag a spot close to the stage; she's having a moment, and opening night always draws a crowd.

Thrusday
Pharell williams in Rockefeller Plaza 6-9 am

Friday in central park: demi lovato 6-9 am

Friday bachata in Bryant park at 6 pm

Target First Saturdays: Brooklyn Pride
Where: Brooklyn Museum
When: 5–11pm
Every June the five boroughs come alive with parades, festivals and parties that bring the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community's heritage to the forefront of public attention. Be part of one of the celebrations at this Saturday event, which showcases music, drag performance, pop-up gallery talks and ballet. Artist Alexander Kargaltsev, who suffered persecution as a gay man in Russia, will talk about his experiences and photo series Last Polaroids, which documents his time in exile. A ballet performance of The Firebird (composed by Igor Stravinsky) and a voguing workshop led by Benny Ninja are also among the evening's happenings.

Museum Mile Festival
Where: Fifth Avenue, between 82nd and 105th Streets
When: 6–9pm
While it's easy to spend all day in a single New York City cultural institution, this once-a-year affair gives visitors a three-hour period to sample a variety of the very finest of them—for free. The 23-block stretch of Fifth Avenue known as Museum Mile is home to eight participating institutions—El Museo del Barrio, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cooper-Hewitt (whose galleries are closed for renovation), the Jewish Museum, the National Academy Museum, Neue Galerie and the Museum of the City of New York—offering extended evening hours. In addition to all the art inside, there are plenty of outdoor festivities: face painting, chalk drawing, live music and other block-party-type events.
