Things to do on a Sunday in New York

This summer, Portugal meets NYC. 

Just in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Brooklyn's Time Out Market is collaborating with the Portugal Football Federation for a one-of-a-kind cultural celebration. Starting Saturday, June 13, the Dumbo market hall will transform into the multi-sensory activation, Portugal House. Not only will the Market turn into the ultimate fan experience for World Cup fans, but the immersive experience held on the 5th-floor rooftop will bring the region's food, drink and culture to NYC. A hub of Portugal's finest exports, the pop-up includes exclusive wine masterclasses and live cooking demonstrations, as well as interactive games and cultural events that are sure to transport you there. And for a true getaway, one lucky guest will win a trip to Portugal. 

Portugal House runs from Saturday, June 13, to July 18. Stay up-to-date on all of our happenings here. 

Grab your outsized fans and pull up your jockstraps: The NYC Pride March returns on Sunday, June 28, bringing thousands of participants, performers, activists and spectators into the streets of Manhattan for one of the world’s largest LGBTQIA+ demonstrations. The march begins at noon at 26th Street and Fifth Avenue before traveling south through Midtown and continuing into Greenwich Village, ultimately ending near the Stonewall National Monument.

This year’s march once again serves as both a celebration and a (somehow still needed) call for LGBTQ+ visibility, rights and unity, featuring community organizations, advocacy groups, artists and allies. Beyond the march, Pride weekend includes related programming across the city, turning the last weekend in June into a citywide celebration of queer culture, activism and joy.

Want to get the Wimbledon experience without dropping major flight money? You don't have to travel across the pond to get a taste of the famous British tennis tournament: Wimbledon is coming right to Wollman Rink later this month.

From Friday, June 26 through Monday, June 29, a four-day immersive activation dubbed “The Wimbledon Court in Central Park” will bring a playable, full-scale tennis court (made from the tournament’s iconic grass and maintained by Wimbledon’s expert grounds staff) right there on the rink. Headlining the sporty event is "The Wimbledon Court Invitational" on Friday at 2pm, an exhibition match that will see two pairs of tennis icons—Andre Agassi and Genie Bouchard taking on James Blake and Caroline Wozniacki—go head-to-head in a friendly doubles match. (You can apply for free tickets to the match here.)

But they're not the only one allowed to get in on the serve-and-volley fun: On Saturday and Sunday, a number of lucky attendees will get the chance to flex their own tennis skills with free slots to play on the pop-up court. (You can enter the public ballot for those slots here.)

PrideFest is a typical NYC block party—but one with way more sequins and exposed flesh. The annual event returns on Sunday, June 28, as one of the signature events of NYC Pride Week. Stretching along 4th Avenue between 14th Street and Astor Place, the all-day celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture and visibility transforms the neighborhood into a bustling open-air fair filled with live performances, DJs, community booths, food vendors and (of course) Pride merch. There will also be resources and information available for those looking for something more than an afternoon of community, making it both a party and a civic gathering.

A free FIFA Arena soccer field has quietly opened inside Central Park, giving New Yorkers a chance to play on a dedicated World Cup-themed pitch through July 18. Installed in the parking lot near Tavern on the Green, the temporary small-sided field is open to players of all ages and skill levels, and best of all, it won't cost you a dime.

The field is open daily through July 18, with two sessions each day: 10am to 2pm and 4pm to 8pm. Most days are dedicated to open play, allowing visitors to jump into pickup games or kick a ball around with friends.

Several special events are also scheduled throughout the activation, including a Youth Skills Academy for kids ages 6 to 14 on June 20 from 10am to 2pm, a Neighborhood Cup community tournament on June 27 from 4pm to 8pm, a Soccer in Schools educator event on July 8 from 6pm to 8pm and the U.S. Soccer Girls Summit on July 11 from 10am to 2pm. The installation wraps up with a closing celebration on July 18 from 4pm to 8pm.

NYC Pride’s annual Youth Pride celebration returns to Pier 16 on Saturday, June 27, with a free daylong event created for LGBTQIA+ youth, families and allies. The carnival-style gathering will feature DJs, musical performances, games, food and non-alcoholic beverages, wellness resources and appearances from special guests, alongside community programming focused on queer and trans youth empowerment. Organizers say more than 2,000 attendees are expected for the celebration—so consider RSVPing to save a spot—which will include workshops, advocacy resources and interactive activities.

Santos Populares (or the Popular Saints Festival) is a cultural celebration in Portugal held in June. And this year, the lively festival is coming to Brooklyn. 

Head to Time Out Market New York, Dumbo, to celebrate the spirit of Santos Populares. As part of our Portugal House takeover, our fifth-floor outdoor terrace will morph into a Portuguese arraial (aka, a street fare). Expect a selection of Portuguese tapas—the official dish of the fest, grilled sardines, will obviously be included—summer cocktails and wine and colorful décor inspired by Lisbon and Porto. 

There will be three chances to get in on the celebrations. On June 13, the talented chef behind the Michelin-recognized restaurant, Quinta do Tedo Familia, chef Óscar Geadas, will take to the terrace for a live cooking demonstration. On June 24, the market will welcome Luís Montenegro, Prime Minister of Portugal, and on June 29, guests can expect live music performances by Alvim and Bluay.

The Santos Populares pop-ups are completely free to attend and will run from 6-9pm on each respective day except for June 13 when the pop-up will begin at 8pm.

Womxn (re-)unite for Pride 2026! The June 28 Re-United Pride Party in Midtown Manhattan runs from 3pm till midnight for lesbian, queer, trans and non-binary communities to revel in the last Sunday in June together, with two floors of music, DJs and live performances alongside a full-scale dance party. Hosted in partnership with several queer nightlife collectives, Re-United Pride is one of the headline ticketed NYC Pride events closing out the weekend, so don't miss out!

Toñita Fest returns to Williamsburg on Sunday, June 28, once again turning Grand Street into a jubilant, sweat-slicked love letter to Puerto Rican culture and community. Hosted by the legendary Caribbean Social Club, the third annual block party honors more than five decades of neighborhood history with live salsa and bomba, domino tables in full competition, food, drink and cultural programming. Celebrate Puerto Rico, the Caribbean Social Club and community all at once for a full afternoon, then keep the party going in the neighborhood.

Brooklyn Pride doesn’t end with a parade—it spreads into a full-on comedy takeover. From June 25 through July 1, the Brooklyn Pride Comedy Festival returns with a week of stand-up, storytelling, sketch, drag-adjacent chaos and queer joy at the Brooklyn Art Haus, spotlighting LGBTQ+ performers alongside allies in a lineup that swings from sharp-edged satire to pure, unfiltered silliness. For anyone looking for an event that encompasses big-name comics and new favorites, this is one of the most reliably unpredictable comedy stretches of the summer.
