Free & Fun Things to Do this Weekend for NYC Kids: Dragon Boat Fest, SummerStage Harlem Family Day, Summer Streets August 10-11
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Several of our August NYC Go List picks take place this weekend, including the colorful Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, SummerStage Kids' final Family Day of the season in Harlem's Marcus Garvey Park and a pair of offbeat FringeJr shows for kids in the East Village. I'm personally looking forward to cycling through the second installment of Manhattan's car-free Summer Streets on Saturday with my family.
Last Sunday, we had a great time meeting some of our readers and their children on our Mommy Poppins Family Cruise on Manhattan By Sail's Clipper City Tall Ship. We're hard at work on our next pirate-themed sail on Tuesday, August 20 when kids can learn how to walk, talk and act like buccaneers during David Engel's interactive Pirate School! solo show. Tickets are selling quickly so book yours today.
All of our best bets for this weekend are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Summer Fun Guide.
