Carnegie Hall Citywide

Aisha Jackson

WHAT: 

FREE: No tickets needed, just show up on the lawn! 

ARTISTS

Aisha Jackson hails from College Park, GA where she grew up singing in church with her family! She's a lover of God, Broadway, gospel, representation, inclusivity, and social justice.

You may have seen her shining her light on Broadway in the casts of Paradise Square (Original Broadway Cast), Waitress (OBC), Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Frozen (OBC), where she made history as the first Black woman to portray Anna on Broadway.

Right now, you can hear voice being featured on a few albums, but she hopes to release music of her own soon. 

PLAN YOUR PICNIC

Bryant Park lends out hundreds of free blankets on a first come, first served basis, or bring your own cotton or fleece blanket. To protect the lawn, please do not sit on waterproof materials such as plastic tarps, yoga mats, or inflatable chairs. 

Take a seat in one of the pre-set chairs on the lawn or grab a chair from the gravel. You can use a chair anywhere on the lawn except for the center lawn blanket zone. 

Purchase food and drinks from tents on the east side of the lawn or bring your own picnic. Look for Stout NYC and Heaster Street Fair vendors, and be sure to visit the Bryant Park Shop, too!

Visit the Bryant Park Shop tent for exclusive Picnic Performances merchandise and more.

Find a parachute, hula hoops, and more fun on the east side of the lawn at select events. 

Dogs are welcome on the gravel and bluestone, but not on the lawn.

Performances are cancelled when it is unsafe to be outdoors. In some cases, the lawn may be too wet to open but the performance may continue. Follow @bryantparknyc for day-of event updates. You can also check the lawn status on the bryantpark.org homepage.
