REUTERS/Adam Gray Global Citizen's annual festival will return to Central Park's Great Lawn on Sept. 27, bringing together world-class artists and global changemakers for a day full of live performances and activism focused on ending extreme poverty."
"Global Citizen Fest is much more than a star-studded concert in Central Park. It's a movement to mobilize the public and initiate real change. This year's festival is focused on three main goals: providing energy for 1 million people across Africa, mobilizing $200 million to protect 30 million hectares of the Amazon Rainforest, and partnering with FIFA to provide access to education for 30,000 children around the world."
"The festival will make its return to the Great Lawn in Central Park. Gates open at 2 p.m. and the show starts at 4 p.m. Entry closes at 9 p.m. Those with General Admission tickets can enter through two gates, either the West Gate Entrance on 72nd St at Central Park W or the East Gate Entrance on 72nd at 5th Ave."
