The Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage Festival’s Central Park flagship venue is uniquely situated outdoors in a stunning location in the heart of Central Park at Rumsey Playfield, 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue. The venue is available for either fully private buyouts or you can rent one of the VIP spaces for smaller groups during one of our planned SummerStage concerts. The venue is available from late May to early October, rain or shine.
SummerStage in Central Park underwent an extensive $6 million upgrade in 2019, transforming the space into a state-of-the-art, seasonal concert facility. With a capacity of 5,000 and a fully built-out, production-ready stage, A/V package, VIP seating areas, and concessions booths, combined with our ability to provide you with check-in, sanitation, security, and permitting, there are few comparable outdoor NYC event experiences as memorable and as easy to facilitate.

At City Parks Foundation, our mission is to encourage New Yorkers to use their neighborhood parks by offering free environmental education, arts, sports, and community-building programs that bring people into their local green spaces.
In 2023, City Parks Foundation reached more than 275,000 New Yorkers with our free programming in local parks. We’re only able to provide free concerts, education, sports, and community programs with the support of people like you. Your next event will help us continue our work, bringing events to parks across all five boroughs.
