Special EventManhattanParks Department

NYC Parks' Summer on the Hudson turns Riverside Park South's pier into a free riverside concert venue for Amplified Sundays, with live bands, breeze off the Hudson and one of Manhattan's best sunset views thrown in. The lineups span genres and the vibe is relaxed and all-ages — dance up front or sprawl on the pier and let the music carry into golden hour. For a free, scenic Sunday that ends with the sun dropping behind New Jersey, this is a West Side gem.

What to expect

Expect an open pier with a stage, a casual crowd of locals and families, and live music as the afternoon turns to evening over the Hudson. Seating is informal. Bring a blanket or chair, water and a layer for the breeze off the water.
