7-Hour Music and Dance
The event will start at 12:00 and continue until 19:00. The free event will be open to the public. For seven hours, music, dance, and community activities that reflect Brooklyn culture will occupy the program's core.
Spike Lee Keeps the Tradition Alive
Known for his admiration of Michael Jackson, Spike Lee has been honoring the artist's birthday for years with this special event held in Brooklyn.
DJ Spinna Will Take the Stage
DJ Spinna will feature in this year's music lineup. In addition to pieces from various phases of Jackson's career, the event aims to create a vibrant atmosphere in the park with dance‑centric performances. The 2026 block party is hosted by Jordan Brand. With the brand's backing, the organization will bring not only music and dance but also Brooklyn's neighborhood culture and community spirit to the event's core.
Free Gathering at Fort Greene Park
No fee will be charged for participation in the event held on Michael Jackson's birthday, August 29. Fort Greene Park will serve as the meeting point for Jackson fans from 12:00 to 19:00.
The '69th Birth Year' Phrase Draws Attention
The event announcement uses Michael Jackson's '69th celestial birthday' phrase. However, since Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, he would have been 68 in 2026. Thus, 2026 corresponds to the 68th anniversary of the artist's birth.

The tradition led by Spike Lee continues to blend Michael Jackson's music with Brooklyn's outdoor culture. The free block party on August 29 will be held on Jackson's birthday with music and dance.
