Driveway Tour

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life – to think I had to live so long to see something so special.”
—86-year-old at a show in her neighbor’s Brooklyn Center backyard

What is the Driveway Tour?

Since 2003, the Driveway Tour has reached 40,000 people in more than 500 neighborhoods. All Driveway Tour performances are free and open to the public.
