Legacies of San Juan Hill Festival

In the first half of the twentieth century, the area around where Lincoln Center stands today was known to many as San Juan Hill. A lively cultural center, San Juan Hill nurtured luminaries in ragtime, stride, jazz, bebop, mambo and other Afro-Caribbean forms, visual arts, musical theater, and more. This October, Lincoln Center celebrates the artistic legacy of this historic neighborhood with a multi-day festival of live performance, film, and interactive events that shine a light on the artists who created here and the community that inspired them. We invite you to experience the visionary voices that transformed the area in the first half of the 20th century and continue to influence artistic work being made today—connecting the past to the future in a joyous celebration.
