Bringing It All Back Home to Washington Square. Free concert with the Peace Poets, People of Earth, & BETTY
Washington Square Arch Washington Square Park, New York, NY, United StatesDue to the high chance of heavy thunderstorms, this concert in Washington Square Park has been cancelled.
Geographically and spiritually, Washington Square has always been the center of the Village. Bohemia’s beating heart. A place to gather, whether to protest or just hang out, often with a guitar – and to dance! The signature event of each year’s Village Trip festival, this concert in the Park brings together a stellar selection of New York City talent: People of Earth, The Peace Poets and BETTY, the award-winning indie rock trio which (as Gloria Steinem puts it) “spreads the most lasting kind of revolution”.
