All they have to do is to login to www.clubfreetime.com and make a reservation.
As for the plethora of free concerts which take place in NYC year round, on weekdays and weekends, during lunch time, late afternoons and various evening hours: many people think that free concerts take place in NYC only during Summer, but nothing can be further from the truth.

As the number of free concerts per a summer month almost doubles the number of free concerts per month during other three seasons, you sure hear more about Summer free concerts.
In addition, Summer free concerts get more publicity, as such major popular concert series as New York Philharmoinic in the Parks, Metropolitan Opera Recital Series, Summer Stage and Celebrate Brooklyn all take place during summer months.
In addition, it's of course lots of fun to spend your lunch or your evening listening to the music you love and to picnic along, but your soul needs those nourishing sounds during other seasons as well. So keep in mind that in New York City you can attend a free concert practically any day of the year, except maybe such major Hollidays as July 4th, Thanksgiving and the Christmas Day.
So please keep in mind that whether it's a weekday or a weekend, a holiday or just a regular day or a weekday night, you can alwasy count on Club Free Time when you want to listen to your favorite music, free of carge.

Jazzmobile will bring that energy to the lawn with the Jimmy Heath Big Band.

The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural, social, and artistic movement centered in Harlem, New York, during the 1920s and 1930s, celebrating African American culture, music, art, and literature. Jazz, big bands, and swing dancing were central to the Harlem Renaissance. It brought people together, and helped break racial barriers through music and performance. In the 1940's Heath became an important part of the Harlem Jazz scene and was deeply influenced by the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance and artists like Duke Ellington and Lester Young. Organizers lend out hundreds of free blankets on a first-come, first-served basis, or bring your own cotton or fleece blanket. There will also be pre-set chairs, or you may bring your own. To protect the lawn, please do not sit on waterproof materials such as plastic tarps, yoga mats, or inflatable chairs. Bring your own picnic or purchase food and drinks from tents on the side of the lawn.

Concert | Emmy-Winning Composer Adrian Younge and His 35-Piece Orchestra
Adrian Younge isn't just a composer--he's a sonic architect, a time traveler weaving together past and future through lush, cinematic soundscapes. An Emmy-winning composer, he's shaped the sound of modern music, whether scoring the cult classic Black Dynamite, crafting dusty soul loops for Wu-Tang Clan and Kendrick Lamar, or reshaping jazz history with Jazz Is Dead. His work pulses with deep intention, blending the raw grit of vintage soul with the grandeur of orchestral arrangements. Now, he's bringing his most ambitious project yet--Something About April III--to life with a 35-piece orchestra and special guests, performing not just the new album but also selections from the first two volumes of the April trilogy. A decade and a half in the making, this final installment cements Younge's legacy as a leading expert of psychedelic soul and orchestral storytelling. Kicking off the night is none other than J.Rocc, founder of the legendary Beat Junkies, setting the tone with an opening DJ set. This is more than a concert--it's a moment in music history. Be there to witness it first. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Concert | Celebration of Women behind Celebrated Music: Ms. Bobbye Hall, Vanessa Carlton, & More
What's your favorite song? There's a good chance a woman played on it. This concert celebrates the women behind many of pop, rock, and soul's biggest successes: studio and touring musicians, women in bands, and artists who aren't only stellar singers but also killer instrumental powerhouses. From the classic rock and soul era, through the indie and folk hitmakers of the '80s, the Lilith Fair stars and backing band members for Missy Elliott in the '90s, onward to modern 21st-century innovators, women instrumentalists have always stood at the center of music. An all-star, all-women band of musical virtuosos--including Wendy and Lisa of Prince and the Revolution, Ms. Bobbye Hall (Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks), Scarlet Rivera (Bob Dylan), and many more--will join music critic Ann Powers for an evening featuring an exciting cast of vocalists, as they interpret some of the great songs that women made memorable.

Classical Music | Minimalist Music Suite Exploring Freedom & Structure: New York Premiere
A New York premiere and co-production between AMOC* and Sandbox Percussion, Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato feels like the long-lost cousin of beloved American Minimalist works like Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians or Terry Riley's In C. Encountering it for the first time is like meeting an unknown relative--you're struck by uncanny resemblances: the tilt of a nose, the rhythm of a laugh, echoes that stretch across time and space. With AMOC* members Matthew Aucoin, Conor Hanick, and Jonny Allen alongside Sandbox, Canto Ostinato radiates the warmth, spaciousness, and quiet luminosity of the best minimalist music. It offers both freedom and structure: a world shaped by softly chiming pulses and deeply satisfying harmonic shifts, where performers navigate personal interpretation within a familiar framework. For some, the piece may evoke the stillness of sacred music; for others, it feels like an invitation to collective meditation. Beloved in the Netherlands, where it premiered, Canto Ostinato holds a universal appeal that invites discovery far beyond its homeland--its patient, shifting light promises to resonate just as profoundly with audiences everywhere. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Concert | Outdoor Music: Alternative R&B/Soul
Durieux is a Bronx-based band known for an idiosyncratic, yet moving, take on Alternative R&B/Soul. Led by singer and rhythm guitarist Bryan Durieux, the band originally begun as a solo act. Over time, the music evolved to a point where Bryan began to perform on stage with a full band behind him. The blend of Bryan’s talent melded with soulful bass (Seth “Happy” Nicholson), groove centric drums (Danny Castro), and intricate guitar (Gannon Ferrell) is a sight to see. Bryan is a story teller and a performer that writes his lyrics, from the heart, based on experiences in life that anyone can find relatable. Blend that with sound of his band and it becomes an experience that will have you in your feelings, but also make you want to groove and be on stage with them singing your heart out. Durieux’s goal is to bring the euphoric experience of community through music, and to create a space where we all relate on an emotional level and collectively find solace within ourselves.

Concert | Radical Brazilian Pop Band Os Mutantes: Psychedelic, Tropicália, and Protest Music
Though initially only rarely heard outside of Brazil, Os Mutantes is currently acknowledged as among the most dynamic, original, radical, and influential bands of their era. These brash musical experimentalists engaged distortion, feedback, sampling techniques and a prescient selection of studio tricks to create a lighthearted, playful, yet still extreme Brazilian pop. An integral part of the psychedelic, Tropicália and protest movements, Os Mutantes combined unbridled guitars, traditional rhythms, an optimistic vision of the future, and an advanced melodic sensibility. Now, nearly 60 years removed from their founding, Os Mutantes’s approach to sonic collage and a wry tendency toward cultural irony ushered in a near-universal modern music aesthetic. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Concert | Celebration of Afro-Brazilian Choro Music
Meet up with the New York-based Brazilian choro and samba ensemble Regional Samaúma for a celebration of the sounds of Brazil through the potent group music-making gathering known as a Roda de Choro! Choro references a rich repertoire that dates back nearly two centuries and represents the fusion of Afro-Brazilian traditions with classical sonorities and dance forms from European culture.

For this event, Regional Samaúma presents a two-part Roda de Choro, beginning with a historical journey across 150 years of choro styles, incorporating maxixe, Brazilian polka and tango, samba, lundu, and baião. In the second part, they invite the audience to participate in a semi-improvisational performance. Bring your own instrument and join in the fun with a few choro tunes! 5:00–6:00 pm: Presentation of choro music by Regional Samaúma 6:00–6:30 pm: Participatory Roda de Choro Seating is first-come first-served.
