Looking for the coolest and music New York Music Festivals in 2022 & 2023? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because I’ve over a dozen amazing events that’ll keep you busy all summer long!
While many New Yorker’s escape the city for cooler climates at the onset of summer, for music lovers, the “city that never sleeps” is only just heating up.
Of course, The Big Apple hosts music festivals year round, but summer is the time to truly immerse yourself in any and all styles of music, from hip-hop to electronic, rock to salsa.
Many festival organizers also make good use of the greenery New York has to offer, hosting events in the city’s many public parks and gardens. My suggestion? Randall’s Island Park is a serious hotspot for tunes all summer long, so don’t stray too far from this oasis in the middle of Manhattan.
