It should be quite a night. Music, fireworks and thousands of your neighbors on the grass.

Each year, the New York Philharmonic graces Prospect Park’s Long Meadow Ballfields with its presence. An amazing free concert on the grass, under the, ur, stars. Bring a blanket, a picnic, a bottle of wine and head on over there They are, after all, one of the world’s greatest orchestras and they’re in our park.

Here’s what’s on the program:
Tchalkovsky, Symphony No. 4
Respighi, Fountains of Rome
Respighi, Pines of Rome
The concert will be conducted by Alan Gilbert.

A fireworks display rounds out the evening. The concert space features a state-of-the-art sound system with a wireless broadcast network and 24 15-foot speaker towers. Park concessions will be on hand, selling hot dogs, ice cream, and other great summertime refreshments.
