BEYOND WESTCHESTER

Here’s a real “only in New York”: Don’t miss the New York On Location: Street Fair and Celebration at the Museum of the Moving Image, a FREE behind-the-scenes look at film production in New York. Actually go inside the trailers and trucks we so often see lining the streets (think dressing rooms, wardrobe, props, special effects); hear from movie professionals about life on the set; watch crew members demo their roles and the process; and watch stunt people do their thing. How cool is that? 

Meet inventors and see them showcase their rockets, robots, electronics and more at the World Maker Faire New York 2014—plus roll up your sleeves and try your own hand at innovation! 

Remember to check our Event Calendar for even more happening this weekend and beyond in Westchester.
