About this event
Common leads a tribute to Harry Belafonte, the Harlem-born singer who used every ounce of his fame on the civil rights movement. Special guests join across the evening, and the setting matters: a bandshell named for Lena Horne, another artist who refused to keep politics off the stage. A closing-stretch highlight of the festival.
Why we picked it
