About this event
Two afternoons of street-level fun built for five- to twelve-year-olds: crafts tables, games, competitions and entertainment spread across a closed block of West 135th Street. It runs alongside the rest of HARLEM WEEK, so parents can drift between the children's zone and the adult stages nearby. No tickets, no queues, and nothing to buy in order to join in.
Why we picked it
A genuinely free, properly programmed children's festival in the priority week — rare in a city where kids' events usually carry a price.
