Summer 2017

Dear Friends:

It is a great pleasure to share with you the 2017 edition of the New York City Youth Guide to Summer Fun!

From performances and events in our wonderful parks and green spaces to sun-filled trips to our beautiful beaches to the vibrant cultural festivals, concerts, and sporting events that take place across the five boroughs, there is so much for New Yorkers and visitors alike to look forward to as the summer season begins. Thanks to the efforts of the Department of Youth and Community Development and its partners, this guide ensures that young New Yorkers will have no shortage of exciting, educational, and memorable activities to experience with their families and friends this summer. The hundreds of low-cost and free events happening in our city in July and August are sure to pique the interest of any young scientist, athlete, bookworm, foodie, movie buff, or music lover.

Every New York deserves the opportunity to participate in the many wonderful things the five boroughs have to offer, and we are determined to give our residents of all ages and backgrounds the chance to experience the energy and excitement that have long defined our city. Chirlane and I are proud to applaud DYCD for once again creating this guide and extend our best wishes for a safe, healthy, and fun-filled summer.

Sincerely,

Bill de Blasio Mayor

Summer, 2017

Dear Fellow New Yorkers:

Another sizzling summer in New York City is here, and the Department of Youth and Community Development is pleased to present the 2017 New York City Youth Guide to Summer Fun.

Our great city has something for everyone: from the High Line to High Bridge, from Bryant Park to Prospect Park, from Summer on the Hudson to Shakespeare in the Park. Whether your summer plans include catching a breeze on City Island, grabbing a bite at one of the City’s greenmarkets, taking in a movie under the stars, or cooling down with a good book at your local library, you can find plenty of free and low-cost events in this handy guide.

DYCD would like to thank the City agencies, museums, youth groups, libraries, arts organizations and cultural institutions that play a role in compiling this information each year. On behalf of the entire staff of DYCD, I wish you a memorable summer of fun.

Sincerely,

Bill Chong @NYCYouth Guide to Summer Fun 2017
