About
Arts and culture: CityParks shows plays a central role in activating CPF's mission to create vibrant and healthy urban communities through dynamic programming in parks for all New Yorkers. CityParks shows brings hundreds of live music, dance and theater performances to communities throughout New York City's five boroughs. The Summerstage Festival presents over 200 artists performing free performances and benefit concerts each year in 18 parks throughout the city, ranging from indie, reggae, afrobeat, soul, modern dance, latin and much more. The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, home to one of the last public marionette companies in the U.S., presents modern takes on classic fairy tales, and the traveling Puppetmobile presents family-friendly puppet shows and workshops outdoors around the city, free of charge.
