About

The Lincoln Square BID’s Summer Jazz Sensations returns for its fifth season, with free live performances at Dante Park every Wednesday from June 24 through September 16. Shows run from noon–1:30 p.m. at the park at Broadway and West 64th Street, directly across from Lincoln Center. In the event of rain, each concert is pushed to Friday. The series leans on a rotating cast of acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, and emerging musicians from the tri-state area and beyond, and the programming has grown well past a simple lunch break. Select dates will feature food and drinks from neighborhood spots including Le Botaniste, plus intermission stretch sessions led by the West Side Y. The series ran longer than ever last year, and the 2026 schedule keeps that extended footprint.
