It’s Summer – Get Out There!

There’s music all over the place in New York City this summer – and much of it is free.

Check out the River to River Festival for everything from drumming circles and folk to movies and dancing.

Lincoln Center Out of Doors provides a wide range of musical events in August including a tribute to James Brown, Noche Flamenca and the 25th Annual Roots of American Music.

About.com has a pretty complete list of free music here, although you’ll need to go here if you want to see what’s happening in Brooklyn. You’ve missed Frankie Valle, but Liza Minelli arrives in August, along with Caribbean music and an evening of Motown.

Want free theater or movies instead? The Parks Department has a schedule. 

It’s summer – get out there!
