Make Music NY Party

On June 21st, Fifth Avenue will join the rest of the city in welcoming summer with Make Music NY (Schedule and music locations coming soon). It's one of the most anticipated events of the year, with musicians playing on nearly every street corner between Dean and 18th Streets (check out photos from last year here ).

First, though, you are invited to join Make Music New York and our very own Freddy's Bar at the first-annual MMNY 2013 Prelude Party. On June 5 from 6-9 pm at Freddy's, meet and mingle with all the Make Music New York Musicians, hosts, bar-owners & bartenders & neighbors. Pick up festival programs and other materials for June 21, and join in a huge acoustic jam from 8-9 pm. A MMNY Cocktail special designed by Freddy's bartenders will be available, as well as the Brooklyn Gin and Radeberger gin and beer specials.

See you there!
