Events and Announcements
One of our favorite neighborhood events is the Washington Square Music festival, a series of concerts in Washington Square Park every summer. We have the proud honor of being the Founding Sponsor of the event series, now in it's 58th year. The first concert is June 7th at 8pm, repeating weekly for 4 concerts.
Celebrate your favorite winter holiday December in Washington Square when The Washington Square Association offers two chances to sing yuletide carols in downtown’s historic park- Dec 9th at 6pm for the tree lighting and Dec. 24th at 5pm for Christmas Caroling. The Association provides the annual 45-foot Christmas tree under the Arch that will be lit for the season between the hours of 4 pm and 1 am.
