What to expect
Planning a visit to Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Park
Choose Wagner Park for an outdoor festival program with harbor-facing lawns and terraced areas rather than a permanent theater setup. Confirm the performance area, audience and seating guidance, weather plan, accessibility information, start time, and registration terms on the festival page because layouts and park operations can change by event.
