"Central Park became both a star-studded concert stage and a platform for global causes on Saturday, as over 60,000 filled the Great Lawn for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, an all-day celebration that blended music and mobilization. The Global Citizen Festival is an annual event open to the public to initiate social change. Fans could attend for free by taking action on Global Citizen's app, signing petitions, leaving messages or taking quizzes on various humanitarian causes."
"This year's festival was 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. iHeartRadio host Josh Martinez opened the pre-show, introducing ceremonial movement Solstice Unites, who honored the land with a Global Powwow,"
