second free concert is scheduled for August 20, 2026 with performers to be announced later this summer.

The concerts are part of Union Square’s ongoing “In Bloom” festivities, a seasonal series of events and activations aimed at bringing more people downtown.

The June 18 concert takes place in the Ellis Street Entertainment Zone which has become home to a growing lineup of block parties, live music, and outdoor events in the heart of Union Square.
