MIH & Prospect Park Alliance presents: “It’s my Park Day!”
Saturday, October 24th:
MIHicon would once again like to thank the more than 3,000 people that spent the beautiful summer day with us in Prospect Park on Sunday, July 19th. It was by far our largest HEATWAVE to date and we thank you for your continued support in making this the highlight event of the summer.
Now - help us keep HEATWAVE alive!
In response to the publicly noted backlash from this year’s HEATWAVE, we have worked with Prospect Park and its leadership to spearhead a community service day in conjunction with the already existing, “It’s My Park! Day.”
The scheduled date for this event is Saturday, October 24th, from 10am to 2pm.
We are looking for your help, as supporters of HEATWAVE and MIHicon, in getting together as many volunteers as possible to help make this event a huge success and also cement a working rapport with Prospect Park and the Prospect Park Alliance for future events and of course HEATWAVES.
Will there be a HEATWAVE10.0?
The success of this event will determine that – fate lies in our hands!If you are willing to volunteer to help keep our parks clean and the HEATWAVE tradition alive – Remember the wonderful tradition HEATWAVE has become…
From 10am to 2pm
Please come and support!

Saturday, August 8th:
The Stoop is a vital opportunity to see various genres of music, art and community in one setting. Many great people and opportunities are present throughout our communities, but without awareness we do not learn about them and leverage such relations for the betterment of our communities and our youth.
With a headline performance from the highly energetic, live remix band Keys N Krates, and supporting sets from emerging talents such as Belikos, Caleb Curtis, Gist aka The Essence, The Kid Daytona, Fascious and The Approaching Storm (a youth marching band) this year’s event promises to be a fantastic and unique addition to NY’s roster of summer events.
Organizations like The Orange Giraffe, New York Chess & Game Shop, Bowery Arts and Science and Yelp! will host information tables at the event, and Photo by TONE will be on taking pictures of the event and attendees.
