has announced its full lineup of concerts for this year’s SummerStage series, an annual festival that brings over 80 free and benefit concerts and events to Central Park and neighborhood parks throughout the city.
“Our goal is to bring people into their neighborhood parks and experience culture within their own community,” City Parks Foundation executive director Heather Lubov said in an interview. “In such a dense urban environment, people really rely on their parks for community. And there's something really special about experiencing a performance in a park with your local community.”
This year’s series includes multiple events marking the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, starting with a ticketed event, “Hip-Hop Started Out in the Park: A Juneteenth Celebration of Hip-Hop,” on June 19 in Central Park. That concert features DJ Premier, Grandmaster Flash and Kid Capri. In early August, Grandmaster Flash takes the party to the Bronx with the free "Birth of a Culture" concert in Crotona Park – one of several events scheduled for the month hip-hop was born in 1973.
