Events We Love This Week: July 30 - August 6, 2025

In the city this week? Here are some fun events we’re keeping an eye on.

Free Broadway in Bryant Park - July 31 @ 12:30 pm

The most popular shows on and off Broadway perform their biggest hits in the park! Join hundreds of fans on the lawn and enjoy favorite Broadway tunes for a lunchtime performance.

Tomorrow’s performance will include hits from:

• Aladdin

• Beauty and the Beast

• The Lion King

Lawn opens at 11 am. Get all the info here!

Free Silent Disco with 3 DJ Options - August 2 @ 6 pm in Riverside Park

We’ve mentioned the silent disco at Lincoln Center, but this one is SO much better.

Special headphones that can tune to any of the 3 different DJs at any time. It’s truly a build-your-own-adventure for dancing! 🕺

Get there early since headphones are limited.

You’ll Have to Check It Out - Xanadu Roller Arts

My childhood was filled with roller rink memories. Birthday parties, school field trips, and plenty of good times on the rink.

Xanadu is ALL about helping you create epic, skate-filled memories, even as an adult.

Their calendar offers open skate nights, concerts (no skating), and even club nights where the roller rink turns into a rolling-grooving-vibing-dance floor.

Entry ranges from around $15-$30, and skate rentals are $7.

Check out their full calendar and plan your next favorite late-night activity here.
