Join us for Brooklyn Is House: Generations of Groove — 2nd Annual Community Celebration — a powerful gathering honoring the legacy, impact, and culture of House music right here in Brooklyn.
Continuing a growing tradition of uplifting the pioneers, culture keepers, and community builders of House music, we come together to celebrate the sound, the movement, and the spirit that connects us across generations.
🎖️ A Special Honor
This year’s honorees will receive a formal citation from NYC Council Member Chi Ossé — an official recognition from the City of New York honoring their contributions to culture and community.
A City Council citation is a significant civic honor, acknowledging individuals whose work has made a lasting impact on the cultural fabric of our city.
This is a big deal — and a moment to show up for those who helped build what we love.
🌟 2026 Honorees
• Evelyn Santos
• Kamala
• Mia Philips
• Mikki Afflick
• Stormin Norman
• Ray Hands
Each of these individuals has played an essential role in nurturing, preserving, and growing House culture.
They are deeply deserving — and this is our chance to celebrate them together.
