The SummerStage season of free concerts in New York City extends from May to October. There’s something for everyone, performances are scheduled throughout all five boroughs of the city, and it’s mostly free.  The biggest concerts are held in Central Park at Rumsey Playfield.

A few of the big name concerts are ticketed events and the proceeds from these helps pay for all the free shows. 2016 ticketed benefit concerts announced so far include Barenaked Ladies/OMD/Howard Jones and Flight of the Conchords.

For the free events, admission is first-come-first served and closes when the venue’s capacity is reached.
