Starting this week, NYC SummerStage begins daily music and dance performances, FREE and virtually, featuring the best local talent, including jazz, Afrobeat, electro-pop and reggae.
SummerStage Anywhere replaces what is normally more than 100 FREE events in NYC parks in all five boroughs each summer. But as we all know, 2020 is not a normal year.
