Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Welcome to another weekend full of free (or cheap) outdoor fun. Enjoy awesome eats and cool activities at Madison Square Park's annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party and the Lower East Side's Egg Rolls & Egg Creams Festival. Or head to Governors Island for the funky interactive arts fest Figment, which we attend every year.
Other highlights include going for a free spin on the Prospect Park Carousel in honor of its centennial, checking out old patrol cars at the New York City Police Museum's Vintage Car Show, cycling in the annual Long Island City Bike Parade and catching the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and other cool kids' acts at SummerStage: Brooklyn Family Day.
All of our best bets for the weekend are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Summer Fun Guide. And don't forget, this is your last chance to grab one of our amazing summer camp deals.
