Weekend Fun for NYC Kids: Day of the Dead, Last Halloween Celebrations, Dan Zanes, Butterfly Conservatory November 1-2
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Due to rain on Saturday, some outdoor events may be canceled or rescheduled. Before heading out to an activity, be sure to check on its official website to make sure it's still on. After eating all that candy on Friday night, your kids are going to have quite the sugar rush to burn off this weekend. And there are lots of great ways to do it, including two FREE Day of the Dead festivals and a few late Halloween celebrations, like Greenpoint's annual costume parade and party. (Meanwhile, if you're desperate to get all that excess candy out of the house, consider donating it to a good cause.)
Non-Halloween fun includes concerts by Dan Zanes at Symphony Space and Suzi Shelton at the central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, a multimedia take on Sleeping Beauty at Lincoln Center and the opening weekend of the American Museum of Natural History's seasonal Butterfly Conservatory.
All of our best bets for the weekend are below. As always, you can find additional options in our Event Calendar. And if you're looking to plan our your entire month, check out the new edition of our NYC Go List highlighting the absolute best things to do with kids throughout November.
