Free NYC Summer Events!
We love summer in New York City for a whole variety of reasons. Somehow, things seem much more relaxed with a good part of the population on vacation or in the Hamptons. Sidewalk cafes beckon. Kids run through the sprinklers and fountains that sparkle among the city's playgrounds and vest pocket parks. The fabulous roof garden is open at the Metropolitan Museum. Summer sales are on and rock bottom prices abound at many of our favorite shops and boutiques.
But more than anything else, we love the plethora of free cultural events that blossom when NYC temperatures rise. From classic movies to modern dance; from Broadway musicals to Shakespeare, there are almost endless options. Below is a list of free events taking place in NYC this summer.
Bryant Park Summer Film Festival. A series of free, outdoor, classic movie screenings, playing on Monday nights throughout the summer months.
Broadway in Bryant Park. Experience the glamour of Broadway in the great outdoors. Each week, several of this year's biggest hits come to the park for a dazzling afternoon song and dance revue.
NBC Rockefeller Plaza Free Concerts. Wake up early to enjoy NBC's Annual Today Show Concert Series at Rockefeller Plaza.
Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival. Lincoln Center Out of Doors celebrates summer with over 100 free performances.
Broadway on Broadway. It's the quintessential New York City event: 50,000 spectators at the Crossroads of the World, live numbers from Broadway shows performed on a giant outdoor stage, television cameras, a galaxy of celebrity performers, and a big finale with showers of confetti.
Central Park SummerStage. This season includes a wide range of music, dance, film and spoken word, by renowned and emerging artists. Note that while many are, not all events on the schedule are free.
Shakespeare in the Park. Shakespeare in the Park consistently draws big name talent and big crowds, but the time spent waiting in line is almost always worth it.
