Here’s the Lineup for 2025’s Free Summer Concert Series

It’s time for your annual sunscreen restock (check those expiration dates!) which means it’s also time for the return of the Downtown Alliance’s six-week lunchtime summer concert series. This year’s series runs from June 4 until July 9, and the lineup includes jazz, blues, salsa, bolero, cha-cha-cha, soul and pop music, plus tap, swing and modern jazz dancing that’ll have attendees up out of their seats and bopping along in no time.
This year’s concerts will take place every Wednesday at noon, with the first three concerts taking place at the World Trade Center’s North Oculus Plaza, and the final three moving to the plaza at 140 Broadway. The series is programmed by esteemed New York musician and producer Svetlana Shmulyian, and all concerts are free to attend. We’ll also be offering two food giveaways with local businesses: Proper Food on June 4, and Ess-a-Bagel on June 25.
