Slow Summer presented by Spotify

​Grab a blanket and a book and meet on the Pier 6 lawn for the kind of Sunday afternoon summer was made for.

Reading Rhythms is partnering with Brooklyn Bridge Park for Slow Summer, presented by Spotify.

This is the final of three Slow Summer reading parties happening at BBP this season, and they're closing it out with Josh Silver, author of Fruit Fly (featured on our Slow Summer Book Picks List).
