Kick-off summertime in style with an outdoor celebration for the whole community, including live music, kids' activities, and a gift box raffle.

Featuring:

LIVE MUSIC: Legendary Cuban singer & bandleader Chino Pons and the beloved Brooklyn-based band Yotoco take the stage! Come for the rumba, salsa and bolero, and stay for the feel-good tunes from these talented musicians.

KIDS' ACTIVITIES: Bring the whole family for an afternoon of safe, socially distanced fun. Make your own Wildflower Seed Bombs using locally produced compost with LES Ecology Center, or bring your own clothing to tie-dye with naturally-made dyes with The Pushcart Presents!

GIFT BOX RAFFLE: Enter to win an Essex Market Gift Box! Get a true taste of the Lower East Side with a hand-picked selection of the most unique and tastiest items from our vendors. Stop by the info tent during the event for your chance to win!

All kids' activities occur on the sidewalk outside Essex Market (on Broome Street) and adhere to social distancing guidelines, with designated spaces for kids to participate. If a spot is not immediately available for your child, you can enjoy live music and outdoor eating until one opens up!
