Description
Beyond its primary Central Park spot, the festival presents programming across all five boroughs. The lineup reaches well past standard concert genres to incorporate salsa, reggae, Afrobeat, and modern dance. At Rumsey Playfield, the venue features an astroturf floor set against park greenery, creating a deliberate buffer from the city's rush. Open seating arrangements mean picnic-blanket visitors frequently end up standing once the show gets underway.
