The big headline this weekend is that Afropunk Fest, which remains one of the coolest music and arts festivals around, is back in Commodore Barry Park in Fort Greene on Saturday and Sunday. As always, the lineup this year features some pretty exciting acts, like Solange, Thundercat, Gary Clark, Jr., Dizzee Rascal, Soul II Soul, Macy Gray, and Michael Kiwanuka, and there will also be food trucks, art exhibits, an indie market, and a skateboarding competition. A ticket for a full day runs $55, and events are scheduled starting at noon on both days.
