An annual City-wide solstice music festival presenting an almost bewildering number of stylistically diverse free performances.  All I can do is direct you to the schedule.  Every summer there's one improbable major water-born performance; this year it's Downtown noise improviser Elliott Sharp leading a flotilla of canoes down the Gowanus Canal at dusk bearing a phalanx of speakers that will amplify Sharp's solo guitar improvisations.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It's, like, all over the City.  If you check out Elliott Sharp, though, you might want to follow it with a visit to Three's for local beer and MEAT.
