That’s a wrap! Thank you so much for joining us for the 38th season of Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage.
This year we reached more than 216,000 people at 75 shows in 12 parks across all five boroughs of New York City. We started our season with the inimitable Andra Day in Central Park, partied with Darryl “DMC” McDaniels in Queens, danced salsa with “El Pavarotti” of the genre himself Tito Nieves on Staten Island, rocked out with the iconic Common and Pete Rock in Brooklyn, and celebrated 40 years of Chuck Chillout on the radio in the Bronx. Most importantly of all, we were thrilled to bring another great season of free live music to neighborhood parks near you.
See you in the parks!

SummerStage brings renowned artists and rising stars from around the world to local neighborhood parks, presenting distinctly New York genres — salsa, jazz, and hip-hop — alongside indie, reggae, Afrobeat, soul, modern dance, and much more. We turn local parks into dynamic and accessible performance spaces. There truly is no better place to experience music than amongst the trees in this iconic spot.
