Weekday Events for NYC Kids: Parades, Free Kids' Concerts, World Science Festival May 25-29

5/24/15 - By Stephanie Ogozalek

Memorial Day week means the return of warm weather favorites like Madison Square Park's no-cost kids' concert series, which kicks off this Thursday with the Grammy-nominated Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could. Meanwhile, you can also catch a FREE performance by Morgan Taylor aka Gustafer Yellowgold. And starting Wednesday, the World Science Festival takes over Greenwich Village.

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