Gorgeous weather and great music courtesy of the New Village Music Festival — what more could you ask for on a Saturday afternoon in Tompkins Square Park?

The East Village greenspace was full of smiling faces and dancing feet as a variety of music was presented, including Izzy Medina (World Hip Hop), Zoeh G (Hip Hop Soul), Aleathia Brown (Poetry), Bebe Bambu ft. Diana Nugu (World Hip Hop), Kiki & The Fellas (Latin Boogaloo), Yotoco (Traditional Puerto Rican Folk) and Swing Combo (Salsa) with DJ Andre Cirilo filling in between the sets.
