OZY Festival

Even If you’ve had it with the screeching sound systems, rough crowds, indigestible foods and scary bathrooms that come with most music festivals, hope is not lost for you this summer. On Saturday, July 21, news and culture site OZY throws an intellectual’s festival in Central Park, complete with TED-style talks, movie screenings, fancy food and damn good music. As expected, this year's edition boasts a killer lineup, which this week got a boost with the addition of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who will appear in conversation with Emerson Collective president Laurene Powell Jobs. Besides the big HRC appearance, the fest will feature talks and performances including Common, Grouplove, Young the Giant, Laverne Cox, Hasan Minhaj, Chelsea Handler, Michelle Wolf, Malcolm Gladwell, Roxane Gay, Salmon Rushdie, Martha Stewart and many other guests, along with celebrity chefs Marcus Samuelsson and Roy Choi on deck to keep your belly full all day.
