During the warmer months, seasonal concerts, plays and events come to Central Park.  Shakespeare in the Park is an enriching and free way to spend an artistic evening.  Also concerts, such as those presented by SummerStage, Good Morning America, The New York Philharmonic and more, feature a wide variety of genres for all music-lovers.  Plus when the Central Park Film Festival comes around during August, catching an evening movie on the grass in the park is also a great summertime activity. Picnicking is also incredibly popular as it allows guests to truly bask in the park's scenic beauty.
