Whether it’s an annual tradition or a first-time experience, the New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Park has something for everyone. Strong knowledge of classical music is not a must. In fact, concertgoers don't even have to be fans.

But there are some real concert necessities: a blanket, bug spray, the kids, maybe the dog and the right attitude.

“Could you ask for more in New York? Could you ask for more in Brooklyn? I don’t think so,” says one concertgoer.

A full spread is also a must-have for music fans who are also foodies.

“We have some gazpacho. We have a quinoa with red peppers and corn and basil,” says an attendee.

“Oreo-crusted pie with vanilla pudding,” says another.

“We're going eat shrimp and tartar sauce,” says a third.

If that seems like a mouthful, check out the musical offerings. The Philharmonic is alternating two programs featuring Johannes Brahms, Richard Wagner, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Ottorino Respighi.

Whatever is on the program, there's always plenty of musical fireworks and the show ends with the real thing.

“My favorite part was the fireworks. I liked it a lot,” says one concertgoer.

“They were brilliant and the Tchaikovsky’s wonderful, always like very dramatic,” says another.

“It’s fabulous. It’s beautiful,” says a third.

The only thing a concertgoer can’t bring is the great weather but they can hope for it. And maybe they will leave a fan.
