Celebrate French culture at the Bastille Day Festival on the Upper East Side. Learn some new moves at Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing Kids Dance and enjoy top-notch entertainment at SummerStage Bronx Family Day.
Our fifth July Go List pick, TADA! Youth Theater's show Unsung & Heroes, debuts this weekend and you can catch a FREE New York Philharmonic concert on Staten Island. Plus, the long-awaited Roller Rink at Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park is open for business.
Whatever you do this weekend, be sure to share your family's playful pics on social media for a chance to win great prizes in our SUMMER OF PLAY CHALLENGE, a season-long initiative encouraging families to spend quality time playing together.
