Some of the parks of the 5 districts of the Big Apple host actors, musicians and performers,being one of the most outstanding stages the Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. Most performances are free and in all you can enjoy the food and drinks.

Performances take place at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. It is an outdoor amphitheatre, built in 1961 and with a backdrop worthy of a Summer Night's Dream: Belvedere Castle and Turtle Pond.
During July and August, New York's parks and rooftops are transformed into movie theaters.

In it you can see represented different small pieces of the best Broadway musicals, 3 or 4 different numbers of different musicals. The appointment takes place every Thursday from July and August from 12:30 to 13:30, if you arrive with just the right time and can not take chairs, you can lie on the grass quietly to enjoy the show and if we take a little snack taking advantage that it is lunchtime, we make this plan a lujazo.
The Lincoln Center is located very close to Central Park and consists of several buildings that house different artistic and cultural organizations and institutions and each year offers the most important performances of opera and ballet. But their most celebrated performances are those that take place between the end of the month of July and early August, framed in the Out of Doors festival, where we can enjoy various performances of classical and contemporary dance, concerts and family shows for free.

The Jazz Age Lawn Party has been held every summer on Governors Island since 2005. What began as a gathering of fanatical friends of flappers, art deco and jazz has become one of the most recognized and outstanding events of the New York summer.
