The concert came to a stop during Barry Manilow's performance of Copacabana. The NYPD asked all people in attendance to find the nearest exit.
Residents took their seats on Central Park’s Great Lawn Saturday afternoon for the all-star line up to grace the stage. Performances included Jennifer Hudson, Earth, Wind and
Fire, and more. Proof of vaccination was checked at entry.
The concert marked the end of NYC Homecoming Week, a citywide
celebration meant to support local businesses and organizations as they recover
from the COVID-19 pandemic.
