Make Music NY

Make Music New York is a new live, free musical celebration across the city that took place for the first time on June 21, 2007.

Last year, GreenThumb helped connect community gardens with this wonderful event.
On that day, public space throughout the five boroughs – sidewalks, parks, community gardens, and more – became impromptu musical stages and dance floors, and social meeting points. Thousands of amateur musicians, in every genre, played on the sidewalks for the biggest crowds of their lives. Professional musicians performed for new audiences, who came out from under their headphones to hear unfamiliar groups risk-free. And everyone was invited to sing along and enjoy the first day of summer.
