Summer for the City at Lincoln Center is a seasonal series of performances, film screenings, dance events, and cultural programming held in New York City each summer. The 2026 program will run from June 10 through August 8 at Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and draws audiences from across all five boroughs and the surrounding tri-state area.
If you are planning to bring a group to one of this summer’s events, Leesel Transportation can help coordinate transportation so your group can travel together safely and stay organized.
Group Transportation and Lincoln Center Events
Lincoln Center is located at the intersection of Broadway and Columbus Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. While it is a well-known cultural destination, traveling there with a group during busy summer evenings can present logistical challenges.
Traffic in the surrounding area may increase during event times, parking in nearby neighborhoods can be limited, and coordinating a group arriving independently from different parts of the city can add complexity.
Charter bus transportation helps address these challenges. When your group travels together on a Leesel Transportation vehicle, everyone boards at a central location, travels together, and arrives at Lincoln Center as a group. After the event, your group can return together without needing to coordinate multiple pickup locations or transportation options.
Leesel Transportation has been serving all five boroughs of New York City for over 40 years. The company supports group transportation across the city and works with customers to coordinate travel based on pickup location, group size, and event timing. To learn more, visit the about page.
