Why dream of Sugar Plum Fairies when you can dream about your favorite artist performing live at Central Park SummerStage in 2010!  As the cold weather months begin to settle in, we here at City Parks Foundation are eagerly preparing for our most memorable Central Park SummerStage season yet in celebration of our 25th Anniversary.  That’s right, SummerStage is having a birthday and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

We would like to encourage our friends and fans of SummerStage to share with us who they would most like to see in the park next season.  To submit your favorite artist email us at submissions@cityparksfoundation.org or  send us a tweet on our twitter page.

Who knows? Maybe your dreams will come true!
