 THE FIRST WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK
FOLK FESTIVAL!

Washington Square Park, 5th Avenue and Washington Square North

 This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1961 Washington Square Park “Folk Riots,” when musicians defied an attempted ban restricting folk musicians from playing and singing on Sundays in the park.  Today, the Parks Department is welcoming folk musicians into the park with what we hope will be the first annual Washington Square Park Folk Music Festival! The event is co-sponsored by NYC Parks along with Susan Cahn and Mario Batali in support of the Mario Batali Foundation. 
 
The bands are all locally based, with some of the musicians having performed in the park the 1960s!   The lineup is below.  Click here for the flyer.
