The 'Rise Up NYC' summer concert series kicked off in Brooklyn Wednesday night.
City leaders designed the 10 community concerts for New Yorkers to reconnect as America's largest city emerges from the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is a gathering that it going to be mostly of older people, but it's just unity and power and love," Bedford Stuyvesant resident Sharon Boone said. "It's just joy and good to be out. I'm so happy." "It's a good outlet. It's a diversion from all the chaos that we are going through, the stresses, the changes. People can't go through changes," East New York resident Elisa Byar said.
Local artists will perform at the concerts located in venues surrounded by mom-and-pop shops and small businesses.Lastly, the concerts provide a safe, trouble-free entertainment option for young New Yorkers. "To get out of the house, see a little performance, dance," East Flatbush resident Sade Cain said. "Have fun, have a good time ... and stay out of trouble."See below for a complete rundown of dates, locations and performers.- Wednesday, July 27
