The Weekend: 7.10-7.12

Bowling, Bell House prom, and Bastille Day. Here's your roundup for the weekend in Brooklyn.

Friday, July 10

Bowling: Brooklyn Bowl is officially open. Party with Flavorpill tonight in Williamsburg as they present High Rollers, featuring O'Death with Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! and DJs Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin. It all starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15. Brooklyn Bowl is located at 61 Wythe Avenue

The end: It's a blowout weekend for Studio B tonight, as, after much tumult, the Greenpoint venue is closing after this Sunday. At the monthly Flashing Lights, party with DJ Ayres, Nick Catchdubs, Jubilee, and a special guest set from Chicago's Flosstradamus. Doors are at 10 p.m., with tickets $15. Studio B is located at 259 Banker St.

Saturday, July 11

Art: Check out Red Hook's art scene as the Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition presents “Art in Changing Perspectives,” featuring more than 800 new works in every medium, many that interpret and reveal the world in novel and experimental ways. It runs now through August 15 at BWAC (499 Van Brunt St.).

Music: Challenge exclusionary notions of world music with Nation Beat as they present "Is America Part of the World?" at Bklyn Yard in Gowanus. Tickets are $18 at the door, or $15 in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com. It runs from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Yard is located at 388-400 Carroll St.

Prom: Take another shot at prom at The Bell House in Gowanus as they present Pretty in Pink Prom. It's inspired by director John Hughes, so think lots of '80s music. Hosted by Sara Schaefer with music by The Engagements. Tickets are $25 at the door, or $20 in advance. The Bell House is located at 149 7th St. It all starts at 8 p.m.

Sunday, July 12

Bastille Day: Break out the berets, play some petanque, and celebrate Bastille Day in Brooklyn. Smith Street − from Bergen to Pacific Streets − will be cleared of traffic and replaced with tons of sand and about 18 homemade petanque courts, and Bar Tabac (128 Smith St.) will be serving brunch from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Eggs Bar Tabac with ratatouille and merguez sausage is not to be missed.

Pool Parties: The popular McCarren Park Pool Parties move to the waterfront, as the free shows kick off at the East River State Park (North 8th and Kent streets) with Mission of Burma, Fucked Up and Ponytail. There won't be any slip 'n slide, but dodgeball will be there, as will three-on-three basketball.
