The sounds of summer brought right to Hudson River Park — our free Sunset on the Hudson series passes the mic to established and emerging NYC-based artists across a wide range of genres.
There’s no better way to kick off the weekend than with an evening of spectacular live music and signature HRPK sunsets right on our West Village riverfront. Among the many exciting events offered this season, Sunset on the Hudson is surely one you won’t want to miss. From brass to choral, bass to alto and so much more, there is something special for everyone.
