Nyack, N.Y. — Live music will once again fill the waterfront this July as the Nyack Park Conservancy hosts its annual Music on the Hudson Summer Concert Series, a month-long lineup of free outdoor performances at Memorial Park overlooking the Hudson River. The weekly concert series will take place every Tuesday evening from July 7 through July 28, with performances scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m.
Now a popular summertime tradition in Nyack, the concert series offers residents and visitors an opportunity to enjoy live performances by local bands in one of the village’s most scenic public spaces. Admission is free, and organizers say the concerts are open to people of all ages.
In addition to live music, attendees can enjoy a variety of food trucks while taking in panoramic views of the Hudson River. The event is designed to provide a relaxed community gathering where families, friends and visitors can spend an evening outdoors listening to local musicians.
The 2026 lineup features four bands representing a variety of musical styles:
• July 7: Electric Beef
• July 14: Femme Fighters
• July 21: Dead Meat
• July 28: Leslie Tam Jam Band
The concerts will be held at Memorial Park, located along the Hudson River in the Village of Nyack. The park serves as a centerpiece for many of the community’s summer events and offers open green space, waterfront walkways, and views of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.
Organizers encourage attendees to arrive early to enjoy the park before the performances begin. Parking is not available inside Memorial Park, but visitors can park in the nearby marina lot and access the park via the pedestrian bridge or by walking from Piermont Avenue. Village parking meters remain in effect until 7 p.m. Food trucks and vendors participating in the concerts are invited through the event organizers and must have the required Village of Nyack permits.
The Music on the Hudson series is one of several seasonal events that help draw visitors to Nyack during the summer months. The village’s calendar also includes art exhibitions, festivals, outdoor movies, and cultural programs that highlight the area’s restaurants, shops, parks, and waterfront.
The Nyack Park Conservancy has presented the Music on the Hudson series for many years as part of its mission to support and enhance Nyack’s public parks through community programming and fundraising. The organization partners with local musicians, volunteers and community supporters to provide free entertainment throughout the summer season.
The first concert featuring Electric Beef kicks off the series on Tuesday, July 7, with the remaining performances continuing each Tuesday through the end of the month. Organizers say all members of the public are welcome to attend, whether they plan to stay for a single performance or return each week for the full concert series.
