Looking for the best things to do in New York City this 4th of July weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this long holiday weekend.
We've got the 411 for the big Macy's 4th of July fireworks show, plus plenty of other fireworks displays from Richmond Town in Staten Island to Coney Island's sparklers. And, when we're not oohing and ahhing at night sky spectacles, we're celebrating summer at the Seaport Kids Music Fest and Beach Fest, including Saturday's Mommy Poppins-sponsored programming! We also suggest lining up for Classical Theatre of Harlem's hilarious iteration of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which opens Saturday night.
All that, plus kids can channel their inner ninjas this long, hot weekend while parents save 15 percent at Ferox Ninja Park in Brooklyn, using code Mommy15 when you purchase tickets online. We've also got the intel on how to save up to 30% on the brand-new Balloon Story installation at the Park Avenue Armory.
