NYC Kids' Guide to Festivals and Street Fairs
Who can resist an occasional fried dough smothered in powdered sugar or a greasy Italian street sausage dripping with peppers and onions? Festivals and street fairs are quintessential New York representing cultures and traditions from all over the world.
We've broken this guide down by season for your convenience. Please note, however, that the listings are from the previous year unless about one month out.
