New York City Summer Street Fairs and Festivals

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.

Most of the festivals run from about 11 am to 6 pm. Following is the street fair schedule for April 2009 (also see schedule for May, June, July, August, September, and October).
