Central Astoria's 2015 Independence Celebration





Tuesday, June 30, 2015

















Central Astoria’s Annual Independence Celebration 
will be held on Tuesday, June 30. 

This annual event draws thousands of people to beautiful Astoria Park.

We are proud to announce that the West Point Concert Band, who have performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and Avery Fisher Hall among other world class venues, will perform.  The band is the Army’s oldest musical organization and we are honored that they have chosen to perform in Astoria Park for the Independence Celebration, a most fitting event for this great band from the US Military Academy. 
The performance starts at 7:30PM and will be followed by a fireworks display by Grucci.  
The event is possible with funding provided by Council Member Costa Constantinides, support from Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, and in part by public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and our corporate sponsors 
NRG, Kaufman Astoria Studios, Astoria Bank, Atlantic Bank, Mt. Sinai Queens, 
Thomas M. Quinn Funeral Home, Quontic Bank, and Greiner Maltz.

New.York.Cares #VOLUNTEER

New.York.Cares #VOLUNTEER 

2015

Volunteers did such a brilliant job beautifying the park. We couldn't do it without them! Thank you to everyone who came out to volunteer with Astoria Park Alliance. The results are beautiful.



We thank our #volunteers and NewYorkCares for the regular efforts to revitalize
Astoria Park, our green space heart.  <3  This of course is in addition to the
much needed care done by the NYCParks and staff. We appreciate the gardening,
weeding, debris removal, mulching, bench painting, and many other park activities
done for love of the environment and of the community.

Our cheers to each and all!
