Free & Fun Things to Do this Weekend for NYC Kids: Medieval Festival, Dumbo Arts Fest, Atlantic Antic, Free Museums Sept 28-29
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
This is another one of those weekends when we wish we had the ability to clone ourselves: Three of our favorite FREE annual festivals are all happening at once. There's the super-interactive Dumbo Arts Festival, Brooklyn's largest street fair Atlantic Antic and Fort Tryon Park's Medieval Festival—and those are just our top picks.
Other FREE highlights include sneak peeks at Staten Island's in-progress Freshkills Park and Governors Island's redesigned parkland. Plus: no-cost admission to a host of NYC cultural institutions courtesy of Smithsonian Magazine's annual Museum Day and a big community block party in Battery Park City.
These are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. All of our best bets are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Fall Fun Guide.
