Celebrate the King of Pop at Spike Lee’s Annual Michael Jackson Block Party

Mark the birth of the pop music king in Brooklyn style, with a Bed Stuy block party.

Spike Lee, the director of classic Brooklyn films “Do the Right Thing” and “Crooklyn,” not to mention borough brand entrepreneur, is hosting his eighth annual Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson block party on August 25. The party, which has drawn large crowds in past years, honors the music of Jackson, who was born on August 29, 1958 and passed away in 2009.

Lee posted a save the date announcement for the event yesterday on Instagram and Facebook. Full details are to come, but the free public event will take place in Bed Stuy on Saturday, August 25, from noon to 7 p.m. on Stuyvesant Avenue between Lexington Avenue and Quincy Street.

Michael Jackson mural up in NYC; MJ block party happening in Brooklyn
michael-jackson-mural-nyc.jpg


Janet Jackson was just in NYC for a great headlining set at Panorama, which included tributes to both her late father Joe Jackson and her late brother Michael Jackson, and there are more MJ tributes happening in NYC. There&#8217;s a mural of Michael up at the corner of East 11th St and 1st Ave, which is half of Michael&#8217;s face as a child and half of his face as an adult, as Bedford and Bowery points out:

The two-faced mural is reportedly the work of Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, who has been heralded for multi-colored works across the globe, which span the gamut from South African leader Nelson Mandela to photographer Vivian Maier. The artist, who grew up in a poor neighborhood on the south side of São Paulo, has displayed more than 500 murals in Brazil and 17 other countries, landing most recently in this corner of the East Village. As of mid-afternoon on Monday, painters were still spraying the final touches on the vibrant homage, but it should be up-and-ready soon enough for the world to behold.

You may know that Eduardo Kobra already painted a similar multi-colored mural of David Bowie in Jersey City. Check out a few more pictures of the MJ mural below.

Spike Lee is also throwing the eighth annual &#8220;Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson Block Party&#8221; on Saturday, August 25 from noon to 7 PM at Do The Right Thing Way &#8211; Stuyvesant Ave between Lexington Ave and Quincy Street. That&#8217;s a few days before what would have been Michael&#8217;s 60th birthday. It&#8217;s free and open to the public.

Michael Jackson would have been 60 years old this Wednesday, and as has become custom in Bed-Stuy (for the past eight summers, anyway), Spike Lee threw a massive birthday block party for the beloved King of Pop. The setting was Do The Right Thing Way–Stuyvesant Avenue between Lexington and Quincy, where Lee filmed much of his seminal film, and still the only street in town named after a movie or any other work art–and on a glorious afternoon the neighborhood came out in force for the occasion.

Brooklyn’s own DJ Spinna manned the turntables, playing hours of MJ classics and keeping the huge crowd dancing and joyously singing along. Lee spent long stretches on the runway-shaped stage, handing out nutcrackers and cracking wise. Anthony Ramos, another Brooklyn native who played Lee’s first film character, Mars Blackmon, on the She’s Gotta Have It TV series, emceed the afternoon with humor and exuberance. And there were guests appearances up there, including BlackKKKlansman star John David Washington (he also handed out nutcrackers, though declined to partake himself); and the Reverend Al Sharpton, who (barely) busted a move to “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.”

There was plenty of great people-watching on the street as well, with loads of Michael Jackson impersonators of all ages and varying degrees of grace, the fashion-forward set stopping by on their way to the Afropunk Festival, Aretha Franklin tributes, and just the always-awesome NYC stoop-culture spectacle of neighbors being neighborly. One of the most powerful moments of the day came during “They Don’t Care About Us,” the whole block waving Pan-African, or Black Liberation, flags and shouting along to the defiant chorus. Lee promised that next year will be the biggest party yet, in honor of the 30th anniversary of Do the Right Thing (and MJ’s 61st birthday).

For the eighth consecutive year, writer, director, and proud son of Brooklyn Spike Lee threw a big party to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson, who would have been 60 this year.

Held on Saturday, crowds of fans flocked to Stuyvesant Avenue between Lexington Avenue and Quincy Street—a.k.a. "Do The Right Thing Way"—to dance, sing, and show off some moves.
