Best Festivals in New York

People in New York choose to arrange the grandest festivals instead of a good night's sleep! As soon as seasons like summer or spring knock on the doors of the Big Apple, festivals crawl out of the cocoons and spread their wings around the city. New York loves to celebrate, and its unique and oldest festivals are a live example. Music festivals in New York are spread out, and food festivals are as tight as a hug! From theatre and cinema to music and food contests, this city is never too tired to throw the best days of your life.


1) SummerStage

Summer is very kind to New Yorkers as it brings the best music concerts and festivals for the folks! Just like every year, SummerStage will bring dozens of free and ticketed live music performances and concerts throughout the summer. Although it is spread across the city, its home base is in Central Park. There’s no limit to genres, and not only renowned artists but also up-and-coming artists set the stage on fire!


2) Tribeca Film Festival

Since 2001, the Tribeca Film Festival has been a haven for new and groundbreaking storytelling for established and emerging artists. It is an amazing festival to showcase innovation and creativity across not just film but TV, immersive games, audio, storytelling, talks, and many more forms of expression! Find what you are passionate about and appreciate all forms of expression.


3) Celebrate Brooklyn!

New York hosts the best free events, and one of them is Celebrate Brooklyn! (yes, with an exclamation). One of the longest-running summer outdoor events shows the beauty of performing arts festivals. You have got it all: top musicians, dance, movies, and laughter are just complimentary with all! The spirit of Brooklyn comes alive and bridges genres and generations, as well as neighbors and neighborhoods.


4) Shakespeare in the Dark

The art of theatre cannot be witnessed anywhere except at Public Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Dark every summer in New York City! Renowned and experienced actors like Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington have starred in these plays; surely, there is always a rush to get these free tickets! More than 5 million theater fans have entered through the doors for 60 years, and more to come in the upcoming years!


5) Nathan’s Famous Hotdog Eating Contest

The iconic contest of who’s the fastest while devouring their favorite food is here, at an Old Town Entertainment District for the first qualifying event. Yes, it’s Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest . More than 35,000 fans are expected to gather on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues to cheer the participants to be the hot dog king! You can scream and encourage from your homes as millions watch the contest on television!
