Taiwanese Waves 10th Anniversary at SummerStage
Taiwanese Waves marks 10 years on Sunday, August 16, 2026 at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park: free SummerStage show, doors 5 p.m., music 6–10 p.m., with 9m88, ØZI, YELLOW, Mong Tong, and more.
Free admission
City Parks Foundation lists Taiwanese Waves’ 10th anniversary for Sunday, August 16, 2026 at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. Doors open at 5 p.m. The show runs 6 to 10 p.m. Admission is free and all ages. No ticket is required for the general field.
The lineup pairs Mandopop and R&B names 9m88, ØZI, and YELLOW 黃宣 with psychedelic brothers Mong Tong, Taiwanese American songwriter Chance Emerson, and a DJ set from Chinatown Records. Organizers have used the night as a diaspora picnic as much as a concert: blankets, friends, and a late-summer Central Park crowd.
Enter at Fifth Avenue and 69th Street for Rumsey. Bags get a SummerStage security check; arrive before doors if you want a sit-down patch of lawn. Same afternoon, FIA’s India Day Parade is on Madison. Do not try to do both at peak unless you leave the parade early.
When: August 16, 2026 (doors 5 p.m.; show 6–10 p.m.)
Where: Rumsey Playfield, Central Park, New York, NY 10021
