The time for arts is in — and it’s free! Wave Hill is proud to host two special community events this June. Celebrate Juneteenth with an afternoon of live performances, hands-on artmaking, dance workshops, complimentary ice cream, and family-friendly activities on the Great Lawn. Later in the month, join us for a Pride celebration featuring TONEWALL, the acclaimed a cappella ensemble from the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus, presented in partnership with Carnegie Hall. Pack a blanket, gather your friends and family, and enjoy unforgettable performances in one of the Bronx’s most beautiful outdoor settings.
