Built in 1914, the Olmstead Overlook gazebo is one of the most iconic structures in FDR Park, offering views of Edgewood Lake and the surrounding landscape. Its blue tile dome creates fantastic acoustics. With its acoustics and commanding presence, this is a great spot to welcome the start of summer with some soulful sounds.

This event is in collaboration with Make Music PHL and is part of Make Music Day. Occurring on June 21 (the solstice and longest day of the year), Make Music Day is an annual event that features live, free musical performances on streets, sidewalks, and parks across the city. Check out their website for other events.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

• Event is rain or shine. In the case of inclement weather, there is a covered area under the gazebo that seating will be moved to.
