Is there an anti-rain dance we can try? We'll do whatever it takes to make sure the incessant showers clear up before the weekend since there are so many spring fairs and festivals going on, from annual favorites like the Cherry Blossom Festival on Randall's Island, Hippo Playground's spring fair and Holi, the Festival of Colors to the first-ever Kickstarter Block Party in Williamsburg.
Two of our top family event picks for May take place this weekend: the citywide volunteering initiative It's My Park Day and Asphalt Green's no-cost swim meet The Big Swim. Plus Saturday is Free Comic Book Day so local shops are giving away complimentary issues to kids.
These are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. All of our best bets are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Spring Fun Guide. And if you're looking to plan out your entire month, check out the new edition of our NYC Go List, which highlights the absolute best things to do with kids throughout May.
