Little Island, the man-made floating park that debuted on the Hudson River at Pier 54 in 2021, is bringing back its packed summer programming for a third season. The lineup features 56 events and more than 200 artists, all taking place inside the park's stunning open-air venues, The Amph and The Glade. Shows mounted in the former will cost $25 while those taking place at The Glade are free to the public.
Unlike the past two summers, the programming will kick off a little later in the season, running from July 29 through September 6, which means you still have a bit of time to snag tickets, which are already available right here.
Before we get to the full calendar, we'd be remiss not to highlight a few standouts, including a celebration of Allen Ginsberg's centennial with Laurie Anderson and Rufus Wainwright and the world premiere of Marina by Julio Torres and Martine Gutierrez.
