West Side Fest
The annual anchor event of the West Side Cultural Network—a group of museums, parks, performing arts centers, and cultural institutions located within a half-mile portion of historic New York— is West Side Fest. West Side Fest offers three days of festivities, including free admission, crafts for kids and families, artmaking activities for all ages, performances, special indoor and outdoor programming, and much more. New Yorkers and visitors of all ages are invited to celebrate the vibrant, cultural village along the waterfront of Manhattan’s west side!
West Side Fest highlights the city’s newest cultural destination on the western edge of Manhattan, a historic area with a welcoming and unique mix of fresh activities, open gathering spaces, and more. The neighborhood includes organizations and community gathering spaces that have been on the West Side for decades as well as newer arrivals like Hudson River Park’s Gansevoort Peninsula. West Side Fest is conveniently accessible by subway, bus, the High Line, bike, or car. While many organizations are offering free admission to programs and events, advance registration may be required. To confirm the details for each organization, please visit westsidefest.nyc.
