The only thing that makes a hot summer day bearable is a warm summer night. And what better way to enjoy these summer nights than 'Out of Doors'. Lincoln Center Out of Doors, currently underway, is a free festival that offers an eclectic mix of music and dance under the stars. In its 44th season, the three-week festival is open to the public until August 10th.
The diverse showcase of performances include everything from jazz and modern dance to urban-disco and ballet. The free shows typically begin from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and take place throughout Lincoln Center: the bandshell in Damrosch Park, David Rubenstein Atrium, Hearst Plaza, etc. (Tip: Because this is a free event, lines can be very long for popular performances. It is best to arrive as early as possible to snag a good spot!)
Along with nightly shows, 'Out of Doors' will also host some day-long "fests" within the festival. On July 27th, globalFEST will offer musical and dance celebrations from, you guessed it, around the globe. From August 6th to 10th, AmericanaFEST will honor the roots of this country through film, dance and music. For more information on the performances, click here.
If dancing to great music on a beautiful summer night (for free!) isn't enough, this year the festival is offering delicious snacks. Hill Country BBQ has a food truck set up with a menu full of their smokey favorites AND refreshing alcoholic beverages. It's the perfect evening to enjoy alone (well, not exactly alone if you consider the swaying crowd of a couple hundred New Yorkers).
