NYC River To River Festival

The River to River Festival has become an annual event in Lower Manhattan.

The tip of Manhattan Island, from the East River to the Hudson turns the city into a stage for music, theater, food, family fun and some very un-city-ized activities. Hiking and birdwatching, music, dance, history and culture are just some of the very popular urban outings scheduled during the River to River season.

Lower Manhattan is your destination for all that and more. Many of the events that you can enjoy here are free and the events that charge admissions are still worth the price. New York memories are waiting for you at the lower end of the Island.

The main attractions are the concerts with brass, classical and other flavors of hot bands to fill the summer hours. Walking tours of historic New York are also part of the picture, including the African heritage in New York with a stop at the African Burial Ground, and the New York stations on the Underground Railroad. Other tours include more modern attractions like Wall Street and the Financial District.

Sunset dinners and seafood extravaganzas are planned for those who want to feed their bodies as well as their souls. Many area restaurants have special menus and festivities planned to compliment the River to River Festival.

More than a million people make the festival activities part of their NYC summer and the numbers keep going up.
