Are you ready?! We hope so.  Make Music New York takes place this Monday, June 21st.

Make Music New York is a live, free musical celebration across the city that takes place each June 21st — the longest day of the year.

On that day, hundreds of public spaces throughout the five boroughs — sidewalks, parks, community gardens, and more — become impromptu stages for over 1,000 free concerts.

Eleven (count ’em: 11!) of the venues are right here on Myrtle Avenue. Come out & groove to the music & relax or eat, drink & be merry.
