The Washington Square Music Festival offers free classical and jazz concerts on Tuesday nights every July in Washington Square Park, a beautiful historic square in the heart of Greenwich Village. The festival, which celebrates its 49th year in 2007, presents a mixture of classical work performed by the Festival Orchestra and festival artists in chamber groups, as well as the slightly more modern sound of swing.
Concerts take place near the statue of Garibaldi in the south-east quadrant of the park, near LaGuardia Place and West 4th Street. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis but you can bring your own chairs. If it is raining on the night of the concert, an alternative "rainspace" venue is arranged.
