Free Shows at Damrosch Park
Following the success of 2021's Restart Stages, this year’s season of concerts and performances in Damrosch Park features some of the biggest names in entertainment; free, live and in-person all summer long. As the flagship venue of Summer for the City, all events are guided by Lincoln Center’s healing credo to act as a platform for audiences to rejoice in new freedoms, reclaim joy and remember what we have lost. In addition to music, theatre and dance, Damrosch's 2,500-seat amphitheater will also play host to group participatory celebrations, including signalongs, poetry readings, local graduations, and an all-city wedding ritual and reception.
