New York City Summer Street Fairs and Festivals

May 2009 Street Fair Schedule

Street fair season is back! In New York, every warm-weather weekend brings multiple street fairs and with them come chances to sample greasy food, find bargains, and get chair massages. Some fairs even feature live entertainment. See our NYC street fair photo gallery.

Following is the street fair schedule for May 2009 (also see schedule for April, June, July, August, September, and October).

Most of the festivals run from about 11 am to 6 pm. Please note that street fair schedules may change without notice due to inclement weather.
