Nothing beats summer in New York City. If you’re looking for something to do in the next few months, consider these events around town.
Shakespeare in the Park
When: May 27–Aug. 23
Where: Central Park

Jazz Age Lawn Party
When: June 13–14 and Aug. 15–16
Where: Governors Island
What: The Jazz Age lives on nearly 100 years later through New York’s annual Lawn Party on Governors Island. The party looks like it’s straight out of The Great Gatsby, except much more family friendly.

4th of July Fireworks

Waterfight NYC

FringeNYC
When: Aug 12–28

What: Spread across more than 20 stages and several neighborhoods, FringNYC is an offbeat multi-arts festival that has served as an incubator for alternative artists and off-Broadway productions.
