Bryant Park Musical Chairs on Monday

May 28, 2019

Bryant Park’s annual epic game of Musical Chairs is set for Monday, June 3. Every June, hundreds of players converge on the Lawn, circle a cluster of our iconic bistro chairs while music plays, and lunge for one when the music stops. It’s a lot of fun, and the ultimate winner takes home a fabulous grand prize. As a bonus this year, the first 400 attendees to check in receive a ticket redeemable for a limited edition Musical Chairs t-shirt.  

To whittle down the beginning contingent of more than 700 contestants, we start with circles of 30, and the winners of each circle advance to the Winners’ Circle, where they battle it out until a champion is crowned. NPR’s Ophira Eisenberg returns to host, and the music is in the capable hands of DJ Flip Bundlez.

The contest begins at 7:30pm and takes about 90 minutes. In case of rain, the event will be postponed to a later date and participants will be notified via email. It’s free and open to everyone 18 years and older, and pre-registration is recommended on a first-come, first-served basis. You can do so here at Eventbrite.
