5 Free Awesome Events In NYC This Weekend

1) Attention carnival fans: The Annual Feast of San Gennaro Festival has returned to Little Italy in NYC. In additional to food and game stalls that stretches a few blocks down on Mulberry Street (between Canal Street and Houston Street), there is also a 5-story tall ferris wheel on Grand Street! (Above photo)

The feast opens every day from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. until this Sunday (and closes at midnight on Friday and Saturday). You can find more details of the festival here.

2) It started a few summers ago, the annual NYC photo festival with small galleries built out of shipping containers, has return this year at a brand new location in Dumbo. Above is Photoville and the unbeatable NYC skyline as backdrop.

Here are some interesting photos being showcased from yesterday: Instead of the traditional way to showcase photography, this artist has decided to print his art works on everyday grocery items..

Did I mention there is a beer garden next to Photoville right under the famous Brooklyn Bridge?

Location:    Water Street and New Dock Street
Time:           Sat 12-10pm; Sun 12-8pm


3) One day only, tomorrow is the Museum Live (hosted by Smithsonian magazine).  Over twenty New York City museums have joined force in providing free admission to local New Yorkers and all visitors. To name a few: Cooper Hewitt, Museum of the City of New York and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (regular admission at $33/ adult).

4) To those of you who have been following @Travel_Fontaneously Instagram knows how much we love Odd Fellows Ice Cream's creativity and awesome seasonal flavors. Their Nolita pop up carnival theme location that started this June will end this Sunday. To celebrate their successful summer, rumor has it there will be $1 a pop that normally cost $8 (available on Sunday only). Not sure the accuracy of this, but their tangerine cotton candy ice cream (photo below) is totally worth your trip to Nolita!
