This Weekend Events in New York City

There are lots of events to enjoy this weekend in NYC, including the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in Queens, Summer Streets in Manhattan, the Metropolitan Opera Summer Recital Series: Tappen Park on Staten Island, Black Gold - Bronx River Art, and the Three Kings Day Parade in Brooklyn.

Dragon Boat Festival, which features paddlers of all ages racing in 40+ foot long dragon boats.

The Met’s annual concerts in New York City parks are one of the most beloved summer traditions in the city. This year, the company will present a six-performance series of recitals in the parks of all five boroughs. All performances in the Summer Recital Series are free and no tickets are required, except for the concert at Central Park.

Tattfoo Tan, Tea-Pi, is an interactive space constructed from unsold painting, tea, sandwiches and recorded audio conversations. Abigail DeVille, Original Ganstas, 2008, is a mixed media collage, 12 x 20 feet. Gallery hours are Mondays to Fridays 3-6.30PM and Saturdays 12-5PM. Free.
