Summer's not over, and there are so many fun things to do in New York City this August! Enjoy outdoor movies and concerts, summer festivals, and the best beach days.
Back-to-school season is right around the corner, but it's not here yet. August is the perfect time to coast down traffic-free Summer Streets, chill with Nickelodeon at the Paley, cheer athletes at the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Fest, and catch the Harry Potter exhibit before it leaves town on August 11. Light up the East River at the always lovely Hindu Lamp Ceremony, take in the Battery Dance Fest, and discover your inner Michaelangelo while making sand sculptures on Coney Island.
Plus, Kids' Night on Broadway is back, we have a cool deal for you at American Dream, and you can play with MommyPoppins at the Seaport on August 17!
