Harlem Meer Performance Festival

The Harlem Meer Performance Festival is back! A beloved community tradition since the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center opened in 1993, this festival brings the best local talent to the stage each summer, filling Central Park’s north end with music and movement.

This year, we’re excited to present a fresh lineup of performers for a dynamic, genre-spanning festival. We hope you’ll join us by the Harlem Meer on select Sundays in July and August to groove to Afro, Latin, world, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, and blues sounds.

At intermission each week, we’ll shine the spotlight on Central Park Conservancy staff and share stories of our work as caretakers for Central Park’s 843 acres.

Bring your friends, family, and dance moves—all ages are welcome!

August 16: M.A.R. Quintet, Jazz
August 23: Ray Delgado Project, Jazz, Soul, Latin, World, Dance
