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

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.
