It's the final countdown! NYC public school students are headed back to school on Monday so this truly is the last weekend of summer break. Both days are jam-packed with FREE annual events we look forward to every year like the West Side County Fair in Riverside Park South, Arthur Avenue’s Ferragosto in the Bronx and the NYC Honey Fest on Rockaway Beach. Plus there are mutlicultural celebrations in honor of the Jewish New Year and the Chinese Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.
As we head into fall, there's a whole new crop of seasonal fun like apple picking near NYC and our big back-to-school giveaway, which continues through September 15. Enter to win a slew of incredible prizes like Schwinn kids' bikes, a Disney Junior package, a $50 Target gift card, $250 to spend at Sears Optical and more. Each prize has a separate entry form, so start clicking!
