Loved the Jelly Pool Parties over the summer (and last year)? Yeah, so did we. This summer’s events featured Grizzly Bear, Girl Talk, the Black Lips, Dirty Projectors, Deerhunter, Dan Deacon, No Age, Mission of Burma, Beach House, Simian Mobile Disco, Wiz Khalifa—and who can forget Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz proudly introducing “Effed Up!”? Well, according to Jelly’s press release today, the future of the Pool Parties could be in jeopardy: “News came from the New York State Parks Department and the Open Space Alliance that the East River State Park may not be available to Jelly for the 2010 season. This will ultimately put an end to the flourishing free summer series.”

The After the Jump Fest—which aims to expose new bands and raise money for inner-city music programs—begins tonight at Littlefield and continues through Sunday. Arty Brooklyn trio Dinosaur Feathers headlines tonight’s set.

Saturday
The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival begins today at Marcus Garvey Park before heading down to Tompkins Square on Sunday.
The experimental-improv label Generate hosts a tenth-anniversary party on Roosevelt Island.
A diverse lineup that includes the psychedelic Psychic Ills and indie folker Sharon Van Etten plays BKLYN Yard. Check the Volume later for an in-office performance from Van Etten.
Sunday

It’s been a long wait to find out who/what was going to replace the free McCarren Pool shows, but we’ve finally got a lineup and, boy, is it a doozy! The shows will be taking place starting at 2pm at the Williamsburg Waterfront (East River State Park, 90 Kent Ave at North 9th St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn) every Sunday for eight weeks. That’s right; these concerts are not actually in a pool anymore. And if you don’t like music that much and are just going to pick up chicks or out-hipster the rest, there will be dodgeball and three-on-three basketball.
Also, here’s a little note that we found interesting from the press release: Disclaimer: Any and all underage drinking at The Pool Parties will result in prompt eviction from the premises and not being allowed to return for the duration of the series.
They should probably tell the Black Lips not to drink too.
Check the full lineup after the jump…
