Location
The festival has cycled through a handful of venues in recent years, but for 2025, it’ll stay in Queens’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where it’s been since the 2023 edition.
In a previous statement, Sue Donoghue, NYC Parks Commissioner, said, “Summer in New York City is not complete without the sound of music playing in our parks. Holding the Governor’s Ball in our iconic Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens is the perfect way to celebrate the arts and bring people together. We look forward to seeing New Yorkers and visitors alike join us in Queens for this thrilling kick off to summer in one of our most storied parks.”
