HOT PICKS

GET SERVED

More than 150 pro volleyballers descended on Coney Island, Brooklyn, yesterday for the second annual AVP Brooklyn Open, which will continue through the weekend, ending with the men’s championship at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow and the women’s grand finale exactly 24 hours later. Qualifying games get under way at 9 a.m. today and tomorrow. Coney Island Beach is at 21st Street and the Boardwalk, and $20 tickets in the temporary 4,000-person “stadium” are still available at (718) 702-5246.

ON KILTER

As if Central Park wasn’t green enough already, the NYC Celtic Festival’s cavalcade of bagpipes, jugglers, fiddlers, Irish and Scottish dancers and the like will be adding a bit of emerald and a splash of plaid to the Central Park Bandshell Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. There will be miscellaneous giveaways at this free event, and attendees are encouraged to dress for the occasion. 72nd Street, west of Fifth Avenue; (646) 642-2020.

ONE LAST DRUMROLL FOR PAPA ROACH

For 83 years, Max Roach kept better time than a Rolex, and now it’s time to say goodbye to the legendary drummer who played with Miles, Sir Duke, Mingus and all the giants of jazz. There will be a public viewing from 9 to 10:30 a.m. today followed by a public funeral service beginning at 11 a.m. at Riverside Church, 490 Riverside Drive, at 120th Street; (212) 870-6700.

LOOK WHAT THE SUMMER BLEW IN

One of these days, hypersensitive singer Michael Bolton is going to have to perform his own songs. But until then, a crooner can do a lot worse than borrowing from the Chairman of the Board, which is what Bolton will be doing Wednesday at his “Bolton Swings Sinatra” performance at North Fork Music Theatre, 960 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury, L.I.; (516) 334-0800. Tickets are $61.50-$71.50.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Fill your tour bus with bio-diesel, stock up on Visine and potato chips, and point your driver 90 miles upstate to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts – the site of Woodstock! – where Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price’s “Last of the Breed” tour rolls through Wednesday at 8 p.m. 200 Hurd Road, at Route 17B, Bethel N.Y.; (845) 454-3388. Tickets are $26.50-$71.50; bethelwoodslive.org

BRINGING UP THE ‘REAR’

Sitting in his apartment in the West Village, a wheelchair-bound photographer (James Stewart), with the help of his ice-queen girlfriend (Grace Kelly), solves a grisly murder committed by a man across the courtyard. The film is, of course, Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” (1954), unreeling as part of a double feature through Monday at the Film Forum (Houston Street, west of Sixth Avenue); (212) 727-8110.

PARKER IN THE PARKS

The 15th Annual Charlie Parker Jazz Festival splits the weekend between uptown and downtown – in two neighborhoods where Parker lived and worked. Abbey Lincoln, Chico Hamilton, Marc Cary and Lezlie Harrison perform tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, at the amphitheater at 122nd Street off Fifth Avenue; (212)360-8162. On Sunday at 3 p.m., Lincoln, Hamilton, Maurice Brown and Todd Williams swing into Tompkins Square Park, Eighth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B; (212) 360-8162. It’s free.

MUSIC STORE COMES ALIVE

Come see Suzanne Vega along with J. Holiday, Javier and “special guests” tomorrow at 5 p.m. at J&R’s annual MusicFest – and just try to avoid getting the 20-year-old “doo do doo do” refrain from “Tom’s Diner” from getting stuck in your head. Come back at noon Sunday to check out a lineup that includes Kevin Michael, Deborah Cox, and the Bruce Hornsby trio featuring Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette at City Hall Park, off Murray Street between Broadway and Centre Street; (800) 426-6027.
