The First Day of Summer = Make Music New York on 101st Street!
The season is heating up — and so is the street! Join us this Saturday, June 21, on the Open Street at 101st Street (just west of Lexington Avenue) for a full afternoon of family fun, creativity, and music-making to celebrate the first day of summer with Make Music New York!
Festivities start at 12 PM with:
Street games & splash-worthy hydrant fun
Yarn art & jewelry-making
The grand seasonal opening of our Street Lab mobile library
Then at 5 PM, get ready to dance! We're partnering with The National Jazz Museum in Harlem to host a Make Music NY concert featuring the electrifying People of the Earth (@poemusicnyc), bringing salsa, timba, and global grooves to the block. It’s family-friendly and free — just bring your dancing shoes!
