Tribeca Film Festival Family Festival Street Fair on Saturday, May 1!

Tribeca Film Festival Family Festival Street Fair

Once again the Tribeca Family Festival has launched in our beloved New York and invites you to the ultimate street fair and family celebration Saturday, May 1. Starting at 10 am, you’ll get a unique opportunity to experience a dazzling array of activities and performances in Tribeca tomorrow. Come meander through the heart of the neighborhood as local schools, merchants, restaurants, and civic organizations join together for this all-day, family-friendly celebration. You’ll enjoy special performances on indoor and outdoor stages and throughout the neighborhood streets, not to mention the surprise appearances by some of your favorite characters from movies, books, and television. The BMCC Plaza Stage for example will feature professional acts of Broadway performers along with emerging talent from right here in Tribeca.

In the courtyard at BMCC and along Greenwich Street, local restaurants and merchants will offer their finest foods, refreshments, and merchandise. Local schools will sponsor a variety of fundraising activities, from hairspray painting to bookmark making.

But hey, that’s not all they’ve prepared for us this year! For the first time, families can attend a FREE screening of a Tribeca Family Festival feature film after the Street Fair. This special presentation of Snowmen, hosted by the Tribeca Cinemas Kids Club, will be screened at 7:00 pm on Saturday, May 1 at BMCC Tribeca PAC, Theatre 1. The line forms at 6:00 PM at the theater, and tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. So make sure to arrive early to get in!

What a great Saturday afternoon you’ll have in Tribeca tomorrow! Go fly a kite, create life-size bubbles in the Bubble Garden, get creative in the Arts & Crafts Pavilion, dance to live music and put a smile on your face… The weather is going to be gorgeous too so no reason to be grumpy this weekend. CCH Staff are convinces you’ll agree with us when we say it’s a great time to take to the streets of the neighborhood, right? So join us for a special day of fun and let us know how much you got to see later!
