Brooklyn Conservatory of Music’s Open Stages 2026
May 9 @ 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT
15+ stages of free outdoor music. Hundreds of artists and partners. One festival for everyone.
Open Stages is a neighborhood-wide, free music festival with stages all over Park Slope, and a celebration of Brooklyn’s vibrant music scene. On May 9, 2026, we’re back for Open Stages 2026!
Each year, the event transforms Park Slope into a lively tapestry of sound and culture, where the streets come alive with melodies and rhythms from around the globe. Open Stages takes place rain or shine, and all best efforts will be made to keep the music going regardless of weather. The festival is free and open to everyone, but it’s also a fundraiser that supports music education and therapy for over 7,000 New Yorkers of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds across the five boroughs. If you’re able to make a contribution with your RSVP, every dollar makes a difference!
