New York City Fstivals, Events & Street Fairs

New York Shakespeare Festival in the Park

The Delacorte open-air theater is the setting for New York's Shakespeare Festival in the Park. Free Shakespeare plays produced by The Public Theater show in the recently renovated Delacorte theater. Actors who have participated in the New York Shakespeare Festival in the Park include big names such as Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Christopher Walken. The goal of this festival is to make Shakepeare available and accessible to everyone.

New York Film Festival

Each fall, filmmakers from around the world converge in New York for the 17-day New York Film Festival representing more than 20 nations and showing more than twenty feature productions. The New York Film Festival is sponsored by the Lincoln Center.

International Food Fair

For two days in mid-May on Manhattan's 9th Ave. between 37th to 57th Streets, more than one million people sample the gamut of 9th Avenue's ethnic restaurants and food shops at reasonable prices. These 20 blocks represent New York City's most famous food district and the International Food Fair is a wonderful time to try it all.
