5/3/15 - By Stephanie Ogozalek

Spring has definitely sprung in NYC, and this week some of our favorite warm weather activities are starting up for the season. Albee Square kicks off its concert series with Funkytown Playground, Wagner Park's mellow Sunset Singing Circles return and families can hop a ride on the Bronx Culture Trolley to see the borough in a whole new light.

Although we only highlight one event per day in this post, you can find plenty of other options in our Event Calendar and our Spring Fun Guide.
