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.
