Prince Parker Channels Hendrix At International Peace Day In Times Square Sunday, September 20Th, 2025

As the pulse of Times Square beats with the rhythm of International Peace Day, one moment will rise above the lights and noise - Prince Parker's cinematic performance of Jimi Hendrix's“Star Spangled Banner.”

At 4:10 PM on International Peace Day, Parker will step onto the Times Square stage, guitar in hand, and breathe new fire into Hendrix's iconic Woodstock rendition - a piece of music that once roared as both anthem and protest, echoing the soul of an anti-war gathering that became legend. In that instant, history and present will collide, reminding the world that music is still the loudest cry for peace.

Leading into his performance, a short segment from Woodstock Forever: Peace, Love & HOPE will play at 4:08 PM, setting the stage with images of a generation that believed in harmony through art.

And as Parker's final note fades, the Human Peace Flag Ceremony will rise at 4:15 PM, with participants gathered in Father Duffy Square from 3:45 PM - a living tapestry of humanity, arms linked, creating a flag not of nations, but of people.

“Woodstock was more than a concert; it was a prayer set to music,” says Parker.“When I play Hendrix's 'Star Spangled Banner,' it's not just sound - it's a reminder that art can still awaken the world.”

This year's celebration fuses past and present, amplifying the message that began in a muddy field in 1969 and now blazes in the heart of New York City: peace is timeless, and hope is eternal.
