Central Park will be hopping this summer, as Summerstage will bring dozens of concerts, movies and comedy events — most of them free — to the main stage on 69th street near 5th avenue and other venues.
The program was just released and there’s something for everyone: Joan Baez and the Indigo Girls on June 17 (not free), the Blue Note Jazz festival on June 24 featuring Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), a Comedy Central showcase on June 26, the Metropolitan Opera in the park on July 16 and many more. Check out the full listings below (click through for descriptions), or go to the Summerstage site here.
