Yonkers Waterfront Live, hosted by the Yonkers Downtown Business Improvement District, is back with a lineup of talented, diverse musicians and musical groups. Every Friday this summer the Yonkers Waterfront Amphitheater will be filled with amazing entertainment and vibrant celebrations of different styles of music. The concerts start on Friday, July 2 and recur every week until Friday, August 27, 2021 from 6:30-8:00pm.
This year, Yonkers Waterfront Live will start with a performance from Hudson Horns, NYC’s hottest young horn and vocal R&B and jazz ensemble. The celebration will continue the following weeks with a salute to the women of R&B, such as Lizzo, a Latin jazz night with Grammy-nominated Bobby Sanabria, as well as a Celia Cruz tribute night. The grand finale of the concert series will be an R&B experience like no other featuring the band, Base Camp.
“Yonkers Waterfront Live has become a staple in our community, so we are thrilled to be bringing it back this summer!” said Sara Brody, Executive Director, Yonkers Downtown BID. “As always, we have a great lineup of talented artists in a wide variety of genres. Now that all NYS restrictions have been lifted, we are happy to be welcoming everyone back to downtown Yonkers on the River.”
