Weekend Fun for NYC Kids: Free Festivals, Family Picnics, School's Out Celebration June 27-28
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Summer break kicks off with a slew of awesome activities this weekend. In addition to NYC public pools opening on Saturday, there are many annual favorites like the ride-filled Astoria Park Festival, the interdisciplinary Harlem Arts Festival and Park Slope's Puppetry Arts Festival.
Of course all of those picks are outside but, if you believe NY1, we're looking at a monsoon this weekend. So we're highlighting plenty of indoor events, too, like riding on vintage subway cars in honor of the 100th anniversary of the BMT and hands-on Lego fun at Brick Fest Live! at the New York Hall of Science.
All of our best bets for this weekend are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Summer Fun Guide.
