Summer Fun Series: NYC Summer Concerts for Kiddies {Guest Post}

June 26, 2013 by Lisa Pisano Leave a Comment

Whether you live in the NYC Metro area or are planning a trip to NYC this summer with the family, you won’t want to miss out on these FREE and FUN concerts taking place in Madison Square Park.

Mommy Nearest Expert MomSituated comfortably at 23rd Street in Chelsea, Madison Square Park offers year-round amazingness by way of the mom a la mode-adored Shake Shack.  And who better than Chelsea resident, and fabulous mompreneur, Lauren Patterson of Little Swappies, to take us through the Madison Square Park Summer Concert Series?  See Lauren’s post below.  And for those of you looking for tips on how to navigate NYC with the wee little ones, visit these previous posts (and be sure to have the Mommy Nearest app loaded on your mobile device prior to taking on the city with child(ren) — it truly is a lifesaver!)

From LittleSwappies.com: 

Summer is here (FINALLY!) and outdoor concerts are definitely an integral part of my family’s summer activity repertoire. Living in Chelsea, we’re only steps away from Madison Square Park, which is definitely one of the most kid-friendly places in Manhattan, and so we’ve gotten to know their Summer Concert Series quite well. For the uninitiated, Madison Square Park has a wonderful free summer concert series for children, and this summer, the concerts start on June 11 and run through August 8.  The concerts are held every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30am on the main lawn in the park.  Every concert showcases a different musical group and because the series is sponsored by the Madison Square Park Conservancy, they are very well-organized.  There is designated stroller parking and a security team that only allows children, parents, and caregivers to enter the concert area.  Remember to bring your blanket, as everyone sets up their spot on the grass.  The concerts are great for kids of all ages.  The older children dance and sing and, last year, shakers were handed out for some of the concerts.  Please note that these concerts can get crowded, so definitely arrive on time.  So, without further ado, here is the lineup for this year’s series:
