We’ve gone to this annual street fair many times and us parents agree that this is the best family festival in NYC! It’s a half-mile long block party of kids activities—not vendors selling socks and jewelry. It’s organized well and the staff/sponsors are caring and patient. Note that it can get crowded with long lines in the afternoon. Every year there are activity tents where kids can do creative projects like clay sculptures or painting. There is an ESPN area with sports activities for the older kids. The stage performances are good: bands, dance troupes and local school groups. Several Tribeca restaurants set up tables in front of their places and sell lunch-sized portions of food. There are many corporate sponsors who have interactive booths and give out free promotional things as well. Don’t miss it!
