SummerStage kids offers free performing arts events in Brooklyn
City Parks Foundation has announced the 2014 launch of SummerStage Kids, New York City’s unique, interactive family festival presenting more than 90 performing arts events at 30 locations citywide. This free festival will run from June 21 to August 19 in Brooklyn, exposing audiences to the local, national and international world of arts and culture, through a diverse collection of engaging artists unparalleled by any other festival of its kind in New York City.
“SummerStage Kids is a unique performing arts festival that tailors its offerings specifically to an all-ages audience. Communities have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an imaginative world filled with music, dance, circus and performances that is thoughtfully curated to appeal to the broadest audience possible,” said Monique Martin, Director of Family Programming for City Parks Foundation.
The 2014 season marks the second year of SummerStage Kids’ focus on contemporary circus. Families will get the chance to see the best circus companies from North America and around the globe make their mark in New York City as a part of the “International Contemporary Circus Festival.” With shows all season long during the day, two dates in Brooklyn Bridge Park and three consecutive evenings in Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, this mini-festival will have audiences in awe.
