Events calendar New York (Manhattan)

Every Thursday at noon, Broadway musicals perform a portion of their show on the open-air stage in Bryant Park, with the Midtown buildings as a backdrop. The opportunity to see Chicago, Jersey Boys, Beetlejuice or Pretty Woman. Four or five musicals are performed every Thursday, each lasting 15 to 20 minutes, with the real actors. The good news is that it's completely free. The bad news is that you're bound to want to see a whole show on Broadway after that!

The most famous little wizard has grown up... The action of the show, born in London and played on Broadway since 2018, takes place 19 years after the events of the last novel of the saga of J.K. Rowling. It finds Harry, Ron and Hermione as adults and follows the trials and tribulations of their children, including young Albus Potter as he enters Hogwarts. The show remains faithful to the universe of the saga while bringing a certain freshness to it. Magic and bluffing.

Electro still holds an important place in New York thanks to the Electric Zoo festival, launched in 2009. All the greatest DJs and electro artists in the world gather at the beginning of September to get 150,000 fans dancing for three days. Now a fixture on the electro scene, the festival was the target of criticism in 2013 following the death of two festival-goers by overdose. The last day of the festival had finally been cancelled by the organizers at the request of the town hall. The line-up is still quite exceptional.

The Governor's Ball has established itself as one of the most important festivals in the United States. Every year, we find the greatest rock, folk, electro and hip-hop artists. Kanye West, Jack White, Outkast, Interpol, Phoenix, Beck, Kid Cudi, Guns N' Roses or the Strokes followed one another on stage. The festival lasts three days and the music starts at noon. No hipster atmosphere as in Coachella (California), but a thrilling atmosphere for the 12,000 spectators.
