Free Events, Free Things to Do in New York City! Read More
Sat, June 14, 2025. New York is full of wonderful things to do beyond the Empire State Building, Metropolitan Museum, Ellis Island, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, etc. Go off the beaten path and find hidden treasures which cost you nothing, but are extremelly enjoyable and much less crowded then famous tourist spots.
Experience New York with no lines and no hassle. Our site tells yiou all about free tours, free concerts, free movies, free theater performances, free dsicussions, etc. you can take advantage of whether you live in the city or spend just a couple of days here.
DOWNTOWN
First, go Downtown and see where New York began: visit City Hall, view the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline, walk by the fortification that was intended to prevent a British invasion in 1812, bike (or just walk) along Hudson River passing all those beautiful Battery Park City Parks with their impressive open space design and public sculptures, sit down for a pleasant meal at one of small Financial Center eateries, go inside the Palm Atrium and take a look at the 9/11 memorial from there.
Then tour New York's beautiful City Hall free of charge. New York City Hall is one of the oldest continuously used City Halls in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions. New York's City Hall is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, the building was an early expression of the City's cosmopolitanism. City Hall is a designated New York City landmark, and its rotunda is a designated interior landmark as well. The tours that do not require reservations, but do require a signup, are run on Wednesdays at noon. The registration takes place on the day of the tour between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. You will need an advanced reservation for Thursday tours. They take place at 10 am for groups and at 10:30 am for individuals.
Your next adventure is to see the Statue of Liberty, but we do not reccomend to take the Statue of Liberty Ferry.
The best way to see the Statue of Liberty is to take a 25-minute water trip from Lower Manhattan to Staten Island by free-of-charge Staten Island Ferry. On a way there the Statue of Liberty will attract your undivided attention. On the way back (another 25 min) you will not be able to take your eyes off the stunning vistas of New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. The ferry runs every 30 min most part of the day. It runs more often during rush hours: 7 am - 8:45 am and between 5 pm and 6:45 pm; but the ferries are packed during rush hour trips; this is not a good time to take a leisurely ride.
Go West young woman (or man) once you are back on Manhattan Island: pass Battery Park (you may want to stop at the Castle Clinton - no connection with the President's family).
UPTOWN
Your Uptown trip should include a walk around Columbia University Campus, visit to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and mostly overlooked gem that the Riverside Church is.
Walk around Columbia University Campus
The University founded as King’s College in 1754. It's historic main campus consists of 71 buildings on 36 acres and was originally designed by the famous architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. Low Memorial Library is our favorite building there. If you are not sure you want to go all the way uptown to see it, you may take a virtual tour at http://www.columbia.edu/acis/tour/start.html
And if you decide that Uptown does worth your time, then there are two other sites you do have to pay a visit to: Riverside Church and The Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Play | Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well in the Park
"This is the way Shakespeare wrote his plays to be seen." -The Huffington Post Get swept up in one of Shakespeare's boldest romantic comedies with New York Classical Theatre! Written around 1604, All's Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare's boldest romantic comedies. When Helena--a brilliant, determined young woman--heals a king, she earns the right to choose her husband. But love isn't so simple, and she must use wit, courage, and a daring plan to win the life she desires. Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena's terms. New York Classical Theatre's signature style, Panoramic Theatre, turns public spaces into the world of the play. Instead of sitting in one place, the audience moves with the actors from scene to scene, following the action as it unfolds. This immersive approach creates a dynamic, interactive experience where every performance is shaped by its surroundings.

A five, six, seven, eight... Come on down and swing along to the best jazz the Big Apple has to offer. A swingin' pianist rooted in the bebop tradition, Marc Devine began playing jazz piano in high school before moving on to study under the tutelage of trumpet master Clark Terry.

Devine recently released recordings of his NYC trios, Inspiration, on ITI Records featuring Hide Tanaka on bass and drummer Fukushi Tainaka which climbed to number 34 on the JazzWeek radio charts. His CD The Late Set was also very well received, recorded live at Mezzrow with Hide Tanaka on bass and the legendary Jackie Williams on drums. "Devine is right in that pocket. Simply just smashing stuff that's a tonic for recidivist ears that want to hear it old school, played perfectly." -Midwest Jazz Record

Author Reading | Author & Performer Discusses His New Book about Displaced Music Culture in NYC
Author and pioneering klezmer performer Walter Zev Feldman discusses his book From the Bronx to the Bosphorus: Klezmer and Other Displaced Musics of New York with Princeton Professor of Near Eastern Studies Andras P. Hamori. From the Bronx to the Bosphorus explores the vibrant, yet largely concealed, musical culture of New York, tracing its origins to a period when the city served as a crucible for immigrants and their diverse musical expressions. Walter Zev Feldman chronicles his journey through the musical landscapes of post-WWII New York--from the declining world of East European immigrant klezmorim to the dynamic environments of Greek, Armenian and Caucasian musicians. The episodes from his earlier life related here portray the mysterious legacy of these forgotten ancestors in mid-twentieth century New York. Walter Zev Feldman is a leading researcher in both Ottoman Turkish and Jewish music. During the 1970s he spearheaded the revival of klezmer music. Today he is a performer on the klezmer dulcimer, the cimbal, and on the Ottoman lute, the tanbur. He had taught at Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, Bar Ilan University and at NYU Abu Dhabi. Between 2011 and 2015 he researched the Jewish, Roma and Greek musical traditions of Moldova/Bessarabia, sponsored by NYU Abu Dhabi. Feldman is also an authority on Ashkenazic dance, forming part of his current research on the role of gesture in the performing arts, which he taught in the NYU Abu Dhabi core course "Gesture" (2013-15) and in NYU on the Square (2018). In 2017 he gave a series of workshops on this topic in Tokyo, Moscow, and Montreal. In 2004 he co-directed the successful application of the Mevlevi Dervishes of Turkey as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity for UNESCO.

Adrian Younge isn't just a composer--he's a sonic architect, a time traveler weaving together past and future through lush, cinematic soundscapes. An Emmy-winning composer, he's shaped the sound of modern music, whether scoring the cult classic Black Dynamite, crafting dusty soul loops for Wu-Tang Clan and Kendrick Lamar, or reshaping jazz history with Jazz Is Dead.

A decade and a half in the making, this final installment cements Younge's legacy as a leading expert of psychedelic soul and orchestral storytelling.

Festival | Juneteenth Celebration: African & African-American Folklore
This Juneteenth celebration draws inspiration from the rich traditions of African and African-American folklore. The event explores themes of cultural identity, societal norms, and significant historical events through the lens of African folklore, which often tells stories of resilience and the unyielding human spirit in the face of slavery's challenges. Key figures in these narratives include Anansi the spider, Br'er Rabbit, Uncle Junus, Uncle Monday, High John the Conqueror, and Sankofa, a mythical bird depicted with an egg in its beak, facing forward with its feet while looking back. This imagery represents the importance of preserving collective memory as a source of cultural identity that transcends both time and place. The influence of African folklore on modern storytelling is significant, with its lasting themes, archetypes, and moral lessons inspiring countless writers, artists, and scholars over the centuries. The Oh Sankofa! celebration at Lincoln Center honors this rich legacy, engaging the audience through music, choral performances, dance, animal tales, slave narratives, and educational fables that celebrate a rich cultural heritage and pay tribute to human endurance in the face of adversity and hardship. Featured artists include actress/comedian Phyllis Stickney; multimedia artist Vinson Fraley; dancer and Urban Bush Women Co-Artistic Director Chanon Judson; blue jazz guitarist Marvin Sewell; and the Etienne Lashley choir. Entry includes admission to the 6:00 performance and the 7:30 show.

Author Reading | Acclaimed Author & Professor Speaks on New Book: A Calculated Restraint (In Person AND Online!)
Author of A Calculated Restraint: What Allied Leaders Said About the Holocaust, Richard Breitman will be in conversation about the book with Rick Salomon, a co-founder of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, Senior Fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, and a member of the Advisory Board of the Renew Democracy Initiative. The Allied leaders rarely spoke directly about the Holocaust in public. When Churchill and Stalin alluded to Nazi mass murder of civilians in early speeches, they said much less than they knew. Not until December 1942 did Allied governments issue a joint statement about Nazi Germany's policy of exterminating the Jews of Europe. Roosevelt deferred his own public statement until March 1944. Why didn't these leaders speak up sooner? Through close readings of public and private statements, Breitman pieces together the competing motivations that drove each leader's response to the atrocities. Timely and incisive, A Calculated Restraint sheds new light on the relationship between World War II and the Holocaust. Ultimately, the Allied leaders' responses cannot be reduced to a matter of character. What they said--and chose not to say--about the Holocaust must be understood in light of the political and military exigencies that drove their decision-making.

Concert | Celebration of Women behind Celebrated Music: Ms. Bobbye Hall, Vanessa Carlton, & More
What's your favorite song? There's a good chance a woman played on it. This concert celebrates the women behind many of pop, rock, and soul's biggest successes: studio and touring musicians, women in bands, and artists who aren't only stellar singers but also killer instrumental powerhouses. From the classic rock and soul era, through the indie and folk hitmakers of the '80s, the Lilith Fair stars and backing band members for Missy Elliott in the '90s, onward to modern 21st-century innovators, women instrumentalists have always stood at the center of music. An all-star, all-women band of musical virtuosos--including Wendy and Lisa of Prince and the Revolution, Ms. Bobbye Hall (Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks), Scarlet Rivera (Bob Dylan), and many more--will join music critic Ann Powers for an evening featuring an exciting cast of vocalists, as they interpret some of the great songs that women made memorable.

Classical Music | Minimalist Music Suite Exploring Freedom & Structure: New York Premiere
A New York premiere and co-production between AMOC* and Sandbox Percussion, Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato feels like the long-lost cousin of beloved American Minimalist works like Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians or Terry Riley's In C. Encountering it for the first time is like meeting an unknown relative--you're struck by uncanny resemblances: the tilt of a nose, the rhythm of a laugh, echoes that stretch across time and space. With AMOC* members Matthew Aucoin, Conor Hanick, and Jonny Allen alongside Sandbox, Canto Ostinato radiates the warmth, spaciousness, and quiet luminosity of the best minimalist music. It offers both freedom and structure: a world shaped by softly chiming pulses and deeply satisfying harmonic shifts, where performers navigate personal interpretation within a familiar framework. For some, the piece may evoke the stillness of sacred music; for others, it feels like an invitation to collective meditation. Beloved in the Netherlands, where it premiered, Canto Ostinato holds a universal appeal that invites discovery far beyond its homeland--its patient, shifting light promises to resonate just as profoundly with audiences everywhere.

Symposium | Abstractions: Women & Art in the Post-War Americas (In Person AND Online!)
This is the first day of a two-day symposium exploring the contributions of women to postwar abstraction across the Americas. The program will feature speakers presenting a range of perspectives including a keynote presentation by Monica Amor. All sessions will be live streamed. Full schedule to be announced soon. This symposium is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Fanny Sanin: Geometric Equations curated by Edward J. Sullivan. Sanin's sustained and powerful engagement with geometric abstraction since her move to New York from Colombia in 1971 stands as a testament to how artists like her persevered in their formal investigations, despite facing exclusion from the art world and navigating its ever-evolving trends. This symposium is meant to foster a dialogue and comparison of the practices of postwar women-identifying artists from diverse geographies and contexts, all who dealt in the realm of abstraction.

In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent. Start times: 10:30 am, 12 pm, 1:30 pm

Concert | Baroque, Folkloric, and Contemporary Music of the Americas: Songs, Dance, & Poetry
Conceived by performer, composer, and American Modern Opera Company (AMOC*) member Keir GoGwilt, Zarabanda Variations brings together a group of visionary composers, performers, and poets in a surprising and vibrant synthesis of Baroque, folkloric, and contemporary music of the Americas. The members of the ensemble work across genres including traditional Mariachi and Baroque music, improvisation collectives in Mexico City and New York, and contemporary composition, creating new songs and dances inspired by the eclecticism of the zarabanda: a dance with Spanish, pre-Columbian American, and African origin stories. Woven in with the music is the poetry of Edgar Garcia, whose work maps the emergence of the Baroque through scenes of colonial and contemporary translation, emergency, and migration.

Performance | Tango-Opera Adaptation of the Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice
This performance is a new tango-infused version of Christoph Willibald Gluck's classic opera, Orfeo ed Euridice, set in a cabaret in Buenos Aires in the 1930s. In this version of Gluck's opera, the characters are transported to a carnival celebration in Buenos Aires in the 1930s and the score is orchestrated for a tango quartet. Gluck's re-orchestrated arias are the musical focus, while the recitatives, which traditionally provide dramatic context, are replaced by poetic texts written by great tango lyricists such as Jose Maria Contursi and Emilio Fresedo. The director set out to "recreate the myth of Orpheus, based on Gluck's opera, from a female perspective during carnival celebrations, which have traditionally been a space of social subversion where anyone can be a 'king' or 'queen' for a day. All inequalities are erased during the festivities, but at the end of the day each one returns to their reality, and those socially forbidden behaviors that surfaced under the masks reveal who we really are."

Film | Bringing Up Baby (1938): Screwball Comedy with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant
While trying to secure a $1 million donation for his museum, a befuddled paleontologist is pursued by a flighty and often irritating heiress and her pet leopard, Baby. Director: Howard Hawks Cast: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charles Ruggles, Barry Fitzgerald, May Robson Katharine Hepburn was known for her headstrong independence, spirited personality, and outspokenness, cultivating a screen persona that matched this public image, and regularly playing strong-willed, sophisticated women. She worked in a varied range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, which earned her various accolades, including four Academy Awards for Best Actress--a record for any performer.Her early years in film brought her international fame. She found a niche playing mature, independent, and sometimes unmarried women such as in The African Queen (1951), a persona the public embraced. Hepburn famously shunned the Hollywood publicity machine, and refused to conform to societal expectations of women. She was outspoken, assertive, athletic, and wore pants before it was fashionable. With her unconventional lifestyle and the independent characters she brought to the screen, Hepburn came to epitomize the "modern woman" in 20th-century America and influenced changing popular perceptions of women. In 1999, she was named the greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute. A well-known figure of Classic Hollywood, Cary Grant was nominated twice for the Academy Award, received an Academy Honorary Award, and received the Kennedy Center Honor. In 1999, Grant was named the second greatest male star of the Golden Age of Hollywood by the American Film Institute.

Dance Performance | Historic Dance Show Recreated with Dancers & Visual Arts
The Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts preserves Elaine Summers' archive. In honor of the Library's 60th anniversary, organizers celebrate Summers during her centennial birth year with a recreation of her 2007 performance, Hidden Forest. The centennial performance of Hidden Forest incorporates eight dancers with musicians, composers, visual artists, and visual projections, which come from another intermedia piece by Summers. Hidden Forest is inspired by Dante's quote--"in the midst of the journey of life I came upon a dark forest, where the path was lost." Dancer, choreographer, and intermedia artist Elaine Summers was a major pioneer exploring the meeting of dance and film, melding the two into a seamless whole which she referred to as "intermedia." This recreation of Hidden Forest is directed by Frances Becker and assisted by the Artistic Estate of Elaine Summers. Seating is first-come first-served. Just show up!
