New Yorkers like to celebrate and rarely need to look far for an excuse to party, so it’s probable that visitors will come across some type of event or festival at any time of year. Parades – from the wacky Mermaid Parade at Coney Island to the wild Hallowe’en parade in Greenwich Village – are a particularly popular way for the city to let its collective hair down, with 50-plus organized events taking place every year. In addition, cultural festivals, open-air film screenings, Fashion Week, art fairs and food festivals fill the streets, cinemas and restaurants year-round.
The web site http://www.nycvisit.com and weekly magazines such as Time Out New York, the New Yorker and the free Village Voice, will keep you abreast of events in this happening city.
