June 4 – August 29
Parks across all 5 boroughs
City Parks Foundation proudly announces the 2013 season of SummerStage presented by AT&T, New York’s largest free performing arts festival, bringing over 100 free performances to seventeen parks throughout the five boroughs. With performances ranging from American pop, Latin and World music to dance, comedy and theater, SummerStage fills a vital niche in New York City’s summer arts festival landscape. Since its inception twenty-eight years ago, more than six million people from New York City and around the world have enjoyed SummerStage. The festival runs from June 4th until August 29th.
Stay tuned as we announce more details on additional dance classes, graffiti events, film screenings and panel discussions with our partners from THE POINT CDC and 5POINTZ.
Musical highlights this summer include expanded Latin Alternative Music Conference programming with two new concerts in the Bronx, legendary English Rock band The Zombies, American indie rockers The Airborne Toxic Event featuring The Calder Quartet with Orchestra, garage-pop newcomer Mac DeMarco, Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and Jazz legend Jimmy Heath with his premiere of his new work “Bird is the Word” at the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival.
