Central Park SummerStage

Great atmosphere for an outdoor concert ! City Winery with a few wines on tap , pizza , hot dogs , etc. Ingrid Michaelson put on a great show in June!

This New York institution has an ear for music of every type—M.I.A. and Television have played in recent years, as have Zap Mama and Nortec Collective. Even better? Many of the shows are free! Read more

Was here for the Ingrid Michaelson concert and had an awesome time! Lots of good quality food vendors and a pretty chill atmosphere.

Bring a blanket. Bring snacks . Bring sunblock. Bring cash (the vendors dont take credit cards and the ATM fee is criminal). Use expert level concealment tactics for your vices.

Great free and benefit concerts . Artists always put on a great show in this unique spot. No bad views or acoustics either.

It's smaller than I thought. Stage itself is a good size and I like that it's turf grass for sitting.

It's a small venue - so make sure if your going to any of the concerts in the summer, make sure you get there early. Lines are extremely long!

SummerStage spans all five boroughs, provides free, all-ages, rain or shine cultural stimuli, and is one of the reasons why we <3 NY. <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/yHDHKm"target="_blank" data-sig="CCXJKdkZL3mZx72sPhiZQVX6n7U=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://bit.ly/yHDHKm</a>

A fabulous open aired venue in the middle of Central Park . It’s a treat to see a show here. Recently renovated.

Love the venue for their free concerts but wish they had more seating and more capacity

Great way to enjoy live music in the summer!

They cram a lot of people into the small area and it gets unpleasant very quickly

Awesome, just 5 bucks to meet the Hip Hop royalty, Jamaica rules

Sun is shining, lovely day, music of my childhood bringing back lovely nostalgic sentiments

So security insisted they take the batteries so I couldn't use my camera.Everyone in here has a camera and some have monopods!!! Bastids!

Nice venue makes you forget you are in the middle of a large city .

plenty of space go enjoy live music this summer. great location and crowd control.

Kind of hard to find so if you're meeting up with someone who's never been there walk together. Trust me.

Great venue to experience bands in NYC!

Nice chilled vibe

Pack a picnic and get there early.

Backstreet Boys

$7beers_$7/9wine_good sound_cozy venue_easy to get to frontstage, with some gall_not necessarily worth everybodys $50+ ticket tho

If you don't want to wait in line to get in the venue, the giant rock near the line is both comfortable and close enough to the music . But beware: you may encounter extremely talented hoolahoopers.

Bring a marker or pen and pimp up those beach balls!

Nothing beats seeing a summer concert on a nice night in Central Park . Most of the shows are free here, but even when tickets need to be purchased, it's totally worth it. Get here early!

Wish it was summer

A fantastic venue for outdoor shows.

The security didn't let us take "cans" inside...WTF? So my friends had to throw out cans...this is BS. Why can't we drink our own drinks? Besides we saw people with cans inside. Wth?

Beer might be expensive , but at least you are drinking quality beer ... Read more
