Leah Shaw at Summer Strolls!

We're so pleased that musician Leah Shaw is playing at Summer Strolls on July 18th.

As a classically trained bassoonist raised on the Beatles and church hymns, North Carolina-grown Leah Shaw has always been a musician at heart, but it wasn't until she moved to NYC that she truly caught the bug for performing and got downright serious about her knack for songwriting. She found her first audiences busking in the subways, where she began testing out her original songs and perfecting her skills as a multi-instrumentalist.

Find out more about Leah Shaw.

There are four Summer Strolls this summer on 5th Avenue:

South Strolls July 18th & July 25th from 5pm - 9pm from 12th to 18th Streets
North Strolls August 15th & August 22nd 5pm - 9pm from Sterling to Dean.

All the events are outdoors, have so many things to do for you and your family from rock climbings to dancing to karate and capoeira and mini golf. Or, just enjoy the open space and explore Fifth Avenue's many bars, restaurants and stores.
