2010 Summer Festivals
While New York is a great place to get cultured in any season, the summertime heat brings art to a rolling boil. Performers, both from around the world and around the block, take to city stages indoors and out. Summerstage spills beyond Central Park to now hold events in all five boroughs and the Metropolitan Opera offers one of the summer's last festivals, with free screenings of productions from the past year. Whether you want to take in a dance spectacular, a jazz jam session or a Shakespeare performance—to name just a few options—this guide will help you find hot culture spots.
