On Saturday night in New York City, Global Citizens from around the world showed up to make an impact.

Artists, activists, leaders, and dreamers all took the stage in front of 60,000 Global Citizens to announce commitments and demonstrate their dedication to making a positive impact on the world.

Between the incredible performances, emotional storytelling, and stirring calls to action, the Global Citizen Festival provided six straight hours of inspirational moments.

Here are some of the best photos that captured the essence of the festival:
