Highlighting Make Music New York

Make Music New York is a new live, free musical celebration across the city that takes place each June 21 — the longest day of the year. Public spaces throughout the five boroughs — sidewalks, parks, community gardens, and more — become impromptu musical stages, dance floors, and social meeting points. Thousands of amateur musicians, in every genre, perform on sidewalks for the biggest crowds of their lives. Professional musicians perform for new audiences to hear unfamiliar groups risk-free. And everyone is invited to sing along and enjoy the first day of summer. It's Party Time in NYC. For more information visit TimeOut.com- MMNY
