Free Performances
Lincoln Center hosts free performances at their David Rubenstein Atrium (located on Broadway between 62nd and 63rd Streets). There are usually several free events each week. The free performances feature a variety acts, from local artists to national and international touring performers. Most events are music concerts, but dance, theater, and spoken word events are also often on the calendar.
The popular Free Thursdays concerts are held each Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
See a calendar of scheduled free events.
Space is limited and people are admitted on a first-come-first-served basis until capacity if reached. See Lincoln Center’s tips on attending the free concerts.
