This Weekend In Parks
Enjoy the great outdoors with dad this Father's Day! With events ranging from canoeing to singing to fishing to running, we've got something sure to please every father figure.
Happily, you won't be able to get very far on Sunday without bumping into a live music performance. That's thanks to Make Music New York, a festival of free concerts in public spaces being celebrated in New York City for the third year. See what's playing in your local park, or use Make Music New York your inspiration to discover new music and new parks while participating in a global celebration of music-making.
