Weekend Fun for NYC Kids: Free Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, Summer Festivals, FringeJr, VW Traffic Jam August 23-24
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Sports, sprinklers, sing-alongs and lots of summer fun are all on tap for the weekend, the second to last one before the kids go back to school. Two of our top picks for the month take place this weekend. On Saturday, head to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for FREE tennis clinics, games and face time with pros at the annual Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, or catch the last weekend of family-friendly FringeJr theater shows.
Other cool options include NYC Audubon's annual Shorebird Festival in Queens and a Volkswagen show on Governors Island.
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 Summer Fun Guide.
