On Thursday, September 10, 2026, our Dinner & Concert at SummerStage returns for an extraordinary celebration four decades in the making!
Join us as we celebrate 40 years of SummerStage — a milestone achievement — with a one-night-only dinner and spectacular private concert with A-list artists you won’t want to miss, fully tented in the heart of Central Park.
This event raises critical funds to keep our park-based programs free of charge, from school field trips, tennis lessons for beginners, and world-class concerts, to our newest initiative — supporting tree planting and volunteer stewardship across the city. Your support will have a direct impact on under-resourced communities in need of free programming. Together we can ensure that free programs and NYC’s parks, so essential to our well-being, continue to thrive.
