    101+ Free NYC Summer 2012 Concerts June 25, 2012

    Summer in NYC: 101+ Free NYC Summer 2012 Concerts June 25, 2012 Now that the summer is officially here, I am hard at work compiling recommendations for (primarily) free summer outings. Initially, I was going to do a post regarding my top 8 favorite free family-friendly NYC Summer concerts. I like to make sure that I don’t miss anything, so I compiled a comprehensive list of choices first. When I did this in an Excel sheet, it ended up being over 101 different free NYC summer concerts being held this summer! In any event, I decided to do two posts – this one (that is comprehensive) and another one (with my top 8 family-friendly picks) later in the week. FYI: Several of the picks on this list are series with multiple concerts, so I batched them together. Also, this comprehensive list includes several concerts that will primarily appeal to adults. (We moms can enjoy them with our husbands, partners and other adult friends.) Enjoy! Brooklyn -8th Annual Afropunk Festival August 25th – 26th Held in Commodore Barry Park, it features a diverse mix of performers including Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae and more. -Albee Square Summer Concerts for Kids – Downtown Brooklyn Thursdays (May 17th to August 23rd) at 10am Kid-friendly performances. -BAM R&B Festival at MetroTech Thursdays (June 7th through August 9th) at noon There are still 7 more acts in this outdoor concert series featuring R&B legends and emerging stars. -Bargemusic Presents: “Music In Motion” Every Saturday afternoon (June to August) at 3pm There are Q & A sessions with the musicians after these one hour neighborhood family concert performances.

Three years ago, the Art Commission called for a multi-agency effort to change the paradigm of the public building process, and build the landmarks of tomorrow. Today, I am pleased to report that, under the leadership of the Department of Design and Construction, the Design + Construction Excellence (D+CE) initiative has seen its most successful year yet. Since our last report, the initiative has continued to elevate design and construction standards and helped to produce thoughtful, creative projects in every borough. The new Office of Emergency Management headquarters in Brooklyn and the Queens Botanical Garden have achieved top level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and stand as vivid examples of what we can accomplish with bold thinking, and a commitment to meeting the biggest challenges of our time. Adopting the spirit of PlaNYC—our vision for a greener, greater New York—the D+CE will continue to ensure that our metropolis remains habitable and hospitable as it continues to grow and evolve. Thank you to everyone involved in the initiative for the support and contributions that remain critical to our success. You continue to help us build a better future for all New Yorkers—the future we all deserve.
