Seating Information
Flushing Meadows - Corona Park in Flushing (Queens), NY is a large outdoor public park and event venue, the fourth-largest park in New York City. Seating and configurations vary significantly by event type.
- Outdoor Concerts & Festivals: Events typically use general admission lawn areas with limited reserved or VIP seating near the stage. We recommend arriving early to secure a good viewing spot. Bringing a blanket or portable chair is highly recommended for lawn events.

As an outdoor venue, we strongly recommend checking the weather forecast and planning accordingly. The park's open layout means most areas offer unobstructed views for large-scale events.
