New York City has officially designated Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 104th Streets as “Museum Mile” because of the vast richness and diversity of the cultural institutions found there.
The second Tuesday of every June is the Annual Museum Mile Festival. In the past two decades, well over one million people have taken part in this annual celebration where Fifth Avenue closes to traffic and becomes a walker’s haven. Festival attendees can visit nine of New York City’s finest cultural institutions for FREE that evening, while also enjoying various street entertainers and free live music.
