Free and Fun Things to Do this Weekend for NYC Kids: Chinese New Year Parades & Festivals, Tu B'Shevat, Cool Music January 28-29
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
The Year of the Dragon kicked off on Monday, and many of the big celebrations happen this weekend, including Lunar New Year parades in Manhattan and Brooklyn. This weekend also marks Tu B'Shevat (Jewish Arbor Day), and there are festivals at the Museum at Eldridge Street and Central Park's Dana Discovery Center.
It's also a great weekend for music. Families can choose from cool classical, jazz and rock concerts, including live performances by Erin Lee and the Up Past Bedtime Band and the genre-busting Hot Peas N’ Butter.
Those are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. Read on for all of our picks and remember, you can find additional ideas in our Winter Fun Guide and our Event Calendar.
