Sounds of the City: Check Out These 31 Days of Free Music Happening All Over NYC This Summer!

Summers in New York City are unforgettable.

There is so much to explore, eat and listen to. The music of this city will be ringing in your ears until fall.

Plus, you can take in the incredible sights and sounds of the city all for free.

Yes, free. We're totally down with free. It's an essential part of the New Yorker vocab.

Who says money buys you happiness? Lots of people. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong.

We know the spots feel the groove in your bones and dance until you can't dance anymore. Check out this lineup for free summer concerts.
