The best NYC events in August 2026

Few summer traditions are as quintessentially New York as watching a movie beneath the stars with the Manhattan skyline glowing in the background. Brooklyn Bridge Park’s beloved Movies With A View series returns for its 26th season, bringing free outdoor screenings to Pier 1’s Harbor View Lawn on Thursday nights throughout July and August, plus a special family movie night in September. This year’s lineup will be Hamilton (July 2), When Harry Met Sally (July 9), Bend It Like Beckham (July 16), The Talented Mr. Ripley (July 23), Clueless (July 30), Jurassic Park (August 6), Do the Right Thing (August 13), Bridesmaids (August 20), Public Choice Screening (August 27) and How to Train Your Dragon (September 18). Bring a blanket, arrive early and settle in for one of the city’s most scenic movie nights.

Silent films are getting the glorious big-screen treatment they deserve at MoMA’s fourth annual Silent Movie Week, a seven-film showcase of newly restored classics from some of cinema’s most legendary directors. Running July 29 through August 4, the series includes landmark works by D. W. Griffith, Buster Keaton, Raoul Walsh, Ernst Lubitsch, Charlie Chaplin, John Ford and F. W. Murnau. Six of the seven films will feature live musical accompaniment, including a 10-piece orchestra performing a newly reconstructed score for Griffith’s Way Down East. Other highlights include Keaton’s The Navigator, Lubitsch’s The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg and Murnau’s Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. Several screenings mark the first presentations of MoMA restorations, making this a particularly good week to understand what Norma Desmond meant when she said, "We had faces then" in Sunset Boulevard.

The Public Theater's free Shakespeare in the Park is back at full steam this summer. Having closed for renovations to Central Park's Delacorte Theater in 2023, and came back at half power this year with a single production—Twelfth Night, starring Lupita Nyong'o, Sandra Oh and Peter Dinklage—the series returns in 2026 with two full Shakespeare productions at the Delacorte: Romeo and Juliet and The Winter's Tale. The Public's Mobile Theater Unit will also travel through all five boroughs with an outdoor version of As You Like It. 

Romeo and Juliet, the earliest of Shakespeare's major tragedies, is the timeless story of teenagers who, in rebellion against their disapproving parents, have sex and then die after scoring drugs from a local priest. This version will be helmed by the Public’s resident director and associate director, Saheem Ali, whose credits include this year's Twelfth Night in the Park as well as Broadway's Buena Vista Social Club.

The Winter's Tale, by contrast, is one of the last plays that Shakespeare ever wrote, and it offers somewhat happier hopes for lovers. A sweeping story of jealousy, love, repentance, angry bears and magic statuary, it begins in deep suffering but ends, like winter itself, with the prospect of healing and rebirth. It will be directed by that old master Daniel Sullivan—who, at 85, has directed eleven previous Shakespeare in the Park, along with such Broadway favorites as The Heidi Chronicles, Good People and Proof.  

Harlem’s historic artistic heritage will be on full display during this live series of events celebrating the people, arts, culture and food of Harlem. This year's celebration, running from August 1–16, commemorates Harlem Week's 52nd anniversary and includes a block party and virtual summit. Even though it's called Harlem "Week," the celebrations will cover more than two weeks this year.

Events throughout the event include an Uptown Night Market, musical performances, virtual dance parties and livestreams. They are also back with their cornerstone events such as the Percy Sutton Harlem 5K Run & Health Walk and "A Great Day in Harlem." There are events for all ages, including a jazz performance, youth races and climate change conference.

The festivities first began back in 1974 as a one-time-only event called Harlem Day. It was intended to create a "much-needed positive vibe" and pull the community out of its economic and social doldrums, event organizers say. The event grew from there into the annual festival we know and love today.

Animation existed in movies long before Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. This summer, MoMA is celebrating the whole wonderfully weird history with It’s Alive!, an exhibit that brings together more than 200 works spanning 1908 to 2020, from Gertie the Dinosaur to experimental artists, Sesame Street and those gloriously bizarre MTV-era music spots. With more than 35 artists represented, the exhibit also features a special focus on the genre's NYC roots. 

Forget rooftop DJs. One of Brooklyn's best summer traditions returns when the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music's Midsummer Nights series transforms Lincoln Place into an open-air jazz club at 6:30pm on July 23 (Rasin Okan), July 30 (Trill Mega Jam: Flute Fest), August 6 (Charles Goold) and August 13 (Strings N’ Skins). Curated by the wildly inventive Melanie Charles, the free concerts spotlight artists gleefully ignoring genre boundaries. Seating is first-come, first-served outside 58 Seventh Avenue, with performances moving indoors if the weather decides to become the evening's least welcome improviser.

Ballet is having a very good summer. Curated by ballet superstar Misty Copeland, The Joyce’s Ballet Festival brings two weeks of big-name dancers, boundary-pushing choreographers and enough elegant leaps to make your own daily commute to the subway feel appropriately pedestrian. The lineup pulls from American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Paris Opera Ballet and more, with works ranging from José Limón and Bob Fosse to brand-new choreography. Basically, ballet’s past, present and future, all in one expansive package.

Summer in New York is about to get a whole lot louder. Z100’s Summer Bash brings a free outdoor concert to Hudson Yards on August 6, with Charlie Puth headlining alongside Bella Kay, Yeonjun and JYT (Just Your Type). The best part? You don’t need to empty your bank account to get in: The concert is free and open to the public. Head to the Public Square & Gardens at Hudson Yards and prepare for some serious pop-star power. Doors open at 5pm and the show starts at 6pm.

One night. Seven chefs. Unlimited slices of pizza. Have we got your attention?

On August 8, The Lineup Dinner returns with its yearly pizza bash, The Lineup Slice Shop. Following its knack for sourcing talent for its running culinary series, the folks behind The Lineup have invited chefs for their hot take on New York's most beloved dish: pizza. Unexpected pizzaolos including talent from Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Cote, and Tatiana. And if it is anything like last year, where green curry and Calabrian chili marinated slices sat next to masala-drizzled and chickpea pies, you are bound to have a good time. That, and there will be slices for all, vegetarian-friendly bites included. 

The Lineup Slice Shop will be held at The Test Brewery on August 8 from noon to 6pm. Tickets are $41 and include unlimited pizza. There will be beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase. Buy your tickets here. 

Travel to beautiful Hong Kong without ever leaving New York thanks to this two-day, annual event at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. Now in its 36th year, more than 100 trained teams gather at Meadow Lake to race on long boats while paddling to the beat of their boat’s drummer. On land, you can join in the fun with music and dance performances, martial arts demonstrations and international food-court vendors. The racing kicks off at 9am, so get there early to get a good view.

Amy Poehler has spent the past year convincing some of Hollywood's funniest people to sit down, relax and, well, have a good hang. Now New Yorkers will get to be part of the conversation in person.

The Parks and Recreation and Saturday Night Live star is bringing her hit interview podcast, Good Hang with Amy Poehler, to Town Hall in Midtown for a special live taping on Monday, August 11. While the guests for the New York live show haven't been announced yet, that's arguably part of the fun. Podcasts with surprise celebrity guests have become increasingly popular live events, especially when the host has Poehler's Rolodex of comedy legends, actors and longtime friends. The performance will take place at Town Hall, the historic theater on West 43rd Street.

If you’ve ever wanted to dive headfirst into a giant pile of pastel beads without having to clean it up, your time has come. Salon 94 Design (3 E. 89th St.) and artist CJ Hendry team up for Pastel, a technicolor playground running from August 6 through August 16, where visitors can plunge into a massive bead pit and build their own bracelet, necklace or charm. Hendry’s signature characters, flowers and smiley faces join drawings, editions and plenty of branded swag, making this the rare exhibition where you’re actively encouraged to take a piece of the experience home.

Here's a family-friendly happy hour where "Who's a good boy?" is the vibe. On August 8, The Penny Williamsburg and its rooftop restaurant, elNico, celebrate National Dog Month with a Yappy Hour benefiting Badass Animal Rescue. Meet adoptable pups from noon to 2pm, sip dog-themed cocktails until 4pm, and know that $1 from every signature drink goes to helping rescue dogs find homes. Even if you leave without a new best friend, you'll have regulated your nervous system while day drinking.

Broadway may be built on revivals these days, but the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival is betting on something riskier (and dare we say more interesting?): new ideas. From July 23 through August 16, AMT Theater (354 W. 45th St.) hosts 12 world premieres—10 plays and two musicals—giving emerging and established playwrights a chance to test-drive tomorrow's theater. Tickets start at $30, with post-show talkbacks offering the opportunity to hear artists discuss a work before anyone starts arguing about whether it belongs at the Tonys.

Korean and Chinese flavors get a New York makeover at GUI Steakhouse & Prime Rib, where Chef Sungchul Shim welcomes Seoul chef Jung Ji-sun of Tian Mi Mi for a one-night-only collaboration dinner on August 8. Known as the “Queen of Dim Sum” and a Culinary Class Wars White Spoon chef, Jung will bring her signature dim sum and bold mala and yu-xiang flavors, while Shim adds wood-fired seafood, 72-hour prime rib, hand-cut jajang noodles and more. The dinner costs $200 per person, plus tax and gratuity, so this isn't a casual night out, but treat yourself!

Fashion may be ephemeral, but the images it leaves behind can become immortal. That's the idea behind Yves Saint Laurent and Photography, a major new exhibition at the International Center of Photography that explores the legendary designer's four-decade relationship with the camera. Featuring nearly 300 photographs and archival objects drawn from the collections of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, visitors will encounter images by some of the 20th century's greatest photographers, including Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton and Andy Warhol, alongside contact sheets, magazines, campaign materials and personal photographs. 

If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to wander through a BTS album, Arte Museum X BTS THE CITY ARIRANG has an answer. From July 24 through August 14, the immersive Chelsea Piers attraction layers the superstar pop group's music onto dazzling digital landscapes filled with light, sound and movement. Even if you can't tell your RM from your V, the multisensory spectacle is worth the trip—and ARMY will likely consider it essential. 

The NoMad Jazz Festival returns for its second year, transforming one of Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods into a sprawling celebration of live music. Running August 2–8, the weeklong festival features free performances at venues throughout NoMad and Flatiron before culminating in two days of mainstage concerts in Madison Square Park on August 7 and 8. This year's lineup includes acclaimed artists like José James, Ben Wendel, George Cables and The Jazz Gallery All-Stars, alongside pop-up performances, family programming and neighborhood activations. Best of all, nearly everything is free.

Puppets, rejoice: New York’s International Puppet Fringe Festival is back after a three-year hiatus, returning August 12–16 for five days of gloriously weird, wonderfully inventive puppetry from around the world, a welcome reminder that puppets are much more than The Muppets. The fourth edition brings more than 100 performances, 10 countries, workshops, exhibitions, screenings and enough creatures to make you question why creators ever bothered with live actors. Centered at The Clemente on the Lower East Side, it’s a full-on global celebration of an art form that remains delightfully impossible to explain to your parents.

Dance takes over Lower Manhattan once again for the 45th annual Battery Dance Festival, where companies and choreographers from around the world turn Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park into one giant stage. The annual summer celebration brings free performances to the Battery, offering a chance to see everything from contemporary and experimental work to dance rooted in global traditions, all with the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor as a backdrop. It’s the kind of cultural event that makes you feel sophisticated for simply showing up. Every performance begins at 7pm, just in time for magic hour.

Sing out, Louise! One of New York's most beloved summer traditions returns when Broadway in Bryant Park hits the stage for its 26th season this summer, bringing free lunchtime performances from some of the Great White Way's biggest shows to Midtown. Every Thursday from July 23 through August 13, casts from hit productions, including Hadestown, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Wicked, The Outsiders, The Great Gatsby and Buena Vista Social Club will take the Bryant Park stage for an hour of showstopping numbers. Festivities kick off at 11am, with performances running from 12:30pm to 1:30pm. Lawn seating is first-come, first-served, so arrive early if you want a prime spot for this quintessential New York summer experience. 

We might be nearing the end of 2026, but you'll feel like you just stepped (or grooved) back in time to 1986 at the Totally Tubular Festival, taking over Pier 17 on Sunday, August 9. Eighties New Wave icons including A Flock of Seagulls, Men Without Hats, Thomas Dolby, Animotion and Tommy Tutone will take the stage for a nostalgia-inducing, high-energy live lineup. 

Before Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma hits theaters August 7, the Museum of the Moving Image is inviting horror fans to check into its fictional summer camp. Opening July 30, Reframing the Slasher pairs props from Jane Schoenbrun’s meta slasher—including VHS tapes, posters and costumes—with classic films that shaped the genre, from Psycho to Sleepaway Camp. It’s a free exhibition for anyone who likes their nostalgia bloody, complicated and displayed behind glass.

Broadway’s biggest stars get their own music festival away from the lights of Midtown. Broadway Fest takes over Hutton Brickyards in Kingston from August 14–16, bringing three days of outdoor performances across multiple stages. The lineup includes Adrienne Warren, Alex Newell, Mandy Gonzalez, Christopher Jackson, Kelli O’Hara, Norbert Leo Butz, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Betty Who, Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell, among many others. It’s basically Broadway camp, minus the stage door stalking and with considerably more room to breathe.

Bed-Stuy's STooPS Summer Festival returns on August 8 with a theme that feels especially timely: "Joy as Resistance." The free, all-ages celebration transforms Decatur Street between Lewis and Stuyvesant Avenues into a vibrant block party filled with art crawls, live music, performances, local vendors and community programming. Expect artists taking over neighborhood stoops, hands-on activities, family-friendly fun and plenty of opportunities to connect with the creative heartbeat of Bed-Stuy. Running from 1pm to 7pm, the festival is a joyful reminder that art, community and celebration can be powerful acts in themselves. 

More than 100 tequilas, mezcals and other spirits will be poured at the Brooklyn Tequila Fest, returning to the Brooklyn Navy Yard on August 8. The 21-and-over tasting event invites attendees to sample everything from familiar favorites to small-batch discoveries while chatting with distillers and industry experts. And for anyone who ruined tequila for themselves in college, there will also be vodka, gin, whiskey and local brews on offer, plus live music and food vendors to keep the party going. Admission includes a souvenir tasting glass and unlimited samples during your session, making this a spirited way to spend a summer Saturday. 

The Grateful Dead built an empire on the idea that no two nights should ever sound the same, and High Time is keeping that philosophy alive. On August 9, the Brooklyn-based Dead cover band brings its Season of What acoustic series to (le) Poisson Rouge, digging into the Dead's songbook with the loose, exploratory spirit that made the originals legendary. After a set break, fellow tribute act Shakedown Citi plugs in for an electric finale that promises plenty of extended jams. Whether you're a lifelong Deadhead or simply curious what all the tie-dye is about, expect a night that values spontaneity over nostalgia.

Thousands of revelers waving red, white and blue flags will once again line Sixth Avenue for the National Dominican Day Parade, one of New York's biggest cultural celebrations. Taking place on August 9, the annual parade honors the history, culture and contributions of the Dominican community with colorful floats, live music, dance groups and more than 10,000 marchers making their way from 37th Street to 55th Street. Expect merengue blasting from every corner, plenty of community pride and a jubilant atmosphere that turns Midtown into a massive street party. The free parade kicks off at 11am. 

Once dismissed as the swill enjoyed by pirates of yore or just a booze 21-year-olds mix with Coke, rum is finally starting to get some of the recognition it deserves. The Brooklyn Rum Festival at Bogart House (230 Bogart St.) is all about celebrating the artistic process of distilleries and the surprisingly complex flavors to be found in rum. From 2pm to 7pm, guests will be able to taste over 15 different rums, enjoy delicious Caribbean food and enter a cocktail-making contest to show their bartending prowess. You'll also be able to wash it all down with some ice cream, rum-infused ice cream, of course! 

Organized by the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) for more than four decades, the India Day Parade is back on Sunday, August 16, to observe India’s anniversary of independence and to celebrate the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers of Indian and South Asian origin.

One of the biggest cultural extravaganzas in New York City, this year’s India Day Parade will see more than 50 marching groups and 40-plus floats head down Manhattan’s Madison Avenue, all adorned in color and tradition, with exuberant Indian tunes soundtracking their every move. The route begins at East 38th Street and marches to East 27th Street. Grab snacks from booths and food courts, catch live dance performances, fan-girl over famous Indian celebrities in attendance and more.

Ballet is having a very good summer. Curated by ballet superstar Misty Copeland, The Joyce’s Ballet Festival brings two weeks of big-name dancers, boundary-pushing choreographers and enough elegant leaps to make your own daily commute to the subway feel appropriately pedestrian. The lineup pulls from American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Paris Opera Ballet and more, with works ranging from José Limón and Bob Fosse to brand-new choreography. Basically, ballet’s past, present and future, all in one expansive package.

Between sips, enjoy live music, food vendors and interactive games, all with sweeping Hudson River views as your backdrop. Admission includes a souvenir tasting glass, making this boozy bash one of the city's most scenic summer happy hours.

This year, Harry Styles is once more making Madison Square Garden into Harry's House. Styles will return to the road for the first time since his Love On Tour ended in 2023. Together, Together will be a seven-city global residency tour that takes him from Amsterdam to Sydney with one unmistakable epicenter: New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The 30-show residency will be the centerpiece of a sprawling 50-date tour that lasts from May through December, and it’s the only U.S. stop on the list. The Garden shows, which run from August 26 through October 31, dwarf his record-setting 15-night stint at the same arena in 2022.

Everyone gets a convention for their interests! Anime lovers get this annual celebration of manga, anime, gaming and Japanese art, which blasts into Javits Center with four packed days of panels, cosplay and culture. Attractions include panel discussions with internationally renowned anime directors, producers and actors, film screenings, a Japanese food court and live musical performances.

Take your taste buds on a Caribbean vacation without the airfare at Savor the Islands, a celebration of island culture, food and drink that brings the flavors of the Caribbean to Brooklyn's Industry City. Expect a lively mix of bites (Jamaican jerk pit, Guyanese pepperpot, Trinidadian curry and roti), cocktails, music and good vibes inspired by the region’s rich culinary traditions. It’s the sort of event where “just one more sample” becomes a full afternoon of eating—which, to be honest, sounds like a perfect Saturday. Who wants to cook?!

Get ready to squeeze into something shiny. GMHC's The Latex Ball 2026 is bringing a night of fetish fashion, performance and unapologetically kinky fun to Terminal 5 on August 22 for The Celebration Ball, inviting guests to embrace the art of latex and all the deliciously strange possibilities that come with it.

Prepare to party till the early morning, but since capacity is limited, do yourself a favor and make a reservation for the free event.

One of the US Open's most beloved traditions returns on August 23 with Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, a free, family-friendly celebration that officially kicks off Fan Week in Flushing Meadows.

New York's best jazz festival doesn't charge a cover. The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival returns August 28–30 with three days of free performances in Marcus Garvey Park and Tompkins Square Park, honoring the bebop legend where he once lived and worked. This year's lineup includes the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Joshua Redman, Ravi Coltrane and more, proving Bird's influence still soars through every generation of jazz. 

Step back in time to August 1776 at Green-Wood Cemetery's commemoration of the Battle of Brooklyn. The battle was the largest battle of the Revolutionary War and the first to take place after the signing of the Declaration of Independence—it took place on land that's now part of Green-Wood Cemetery.

Events on Sunday, August 23 include a chance to meet costumed interpreters, experience a 1776 soldiers encampment, do some 18th-century laundry, see historical demonstrations and listen to stories of the American Revolution. Plus, all are welcome to participate in a march to Battle Hill, the highest natural point in Brooklyn and a key site of the 1776 battle.

All ages are invited for a fun afternoon of activities that bring NYC's revolutionary history to life and honor the bravery of those who fought for America's independence 250 years ago. Visitors are welcome to bring picnics and blankets to enjoy on the Main Entrance Meadow—something not usually permitted at Green-Wood.

It's free to attend, with advance reservation recommended.

If you've ever wanted to see tennis superstars loosen up before the pressure of the U.S. Open begins, Stars of the Open is your chance. The annual Fan Week exhibition returns to Arthur Ashe Stadium on August 27, bringing many of the sport's biggest names together for an evening of playful competition, unexpected pairings and on-court trash talk you won't see once the tournament officially starts. Think of it as tennis summer camp for Grand Slam champions: all the talent, none of the tension. Better yet, proceeds benefit the USTA Foundation, which supports youth education and tennis programs nationwide. Tickets are still available, but this crowd-pleaser tends to move quickly. 

On August 27, the newly restored Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria New York will be transformed into a full-size tennis court beneath its glittering chandeliers for the inaugural Waldorf Astoria Racquet Club: Ballroom Tennis Invitational. The one-night-only event will bring ATP and WTA stars Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton, Leylah Fernandez and Maria Sakkari into a room that's better known for hosting presidents and movie stars

The Grand Ballroom has hosted some of New York's biggest cultural moments over the decades, including the first Tony Awards, early Met Galas and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. But this will mark the first time anyone has played competitive tennis under its crystal chandeliers.

The exhibition matches are only part of the evening. Guests can also expect Champagne from Moët & Chandon, interactive chef stations, seafood, tennis-themed cocktails and dishes from Lex Yard, the hotel's restaurant led by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Anthony. The hotel's Guerlain Wellness Spa will also offer wellness experiences tied to the event.

Expect live entertainment, DJs, photo ops and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments as hundreds of New Yorkers gather for what's essentially the borough's answer to a garden party. Just remember the only strict dress code: absolutely no color allowed.

Before the U.S. Open turns Flushing Meadows into the center of the tennis universe, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center throws open its gates for Fan Week, eight days of free practices, exhibitions, concerts and family-friendly programming that offers all the excitement of the year's final Grand Slam—without the price tag.

Whether you consult the cards before every first date or couldn't tell The Fool from The Tower, the Morgan Library & Museum's new exhibition Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions offers a fascinating look at how a centuries-old card game became a cultural obsession. The sweeping exhibition traces tarot's origins in Renaissance Italy to its enduring influence on modern and contemporary art.
