Free Events, Free Things to Do in New York City!  Read More

Fri, June 12, 2026. 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.

Concert | 100 Electric Guitars Play at Once: Avant-Garde, Maximalist Symphony
Hear a live performance of the late composer Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 13, aka Hallucination City, which premiered in June of 2001 and was one of the last works of art to take place at World Trade Center Plaza. Written in four movements for an orchestra of 100 electric guitar players and intended to be played uninterrupted in just over an hour, the work has become a landmark of avant-garde music, notorious for its maximalism, eccentric tuning, and overwhelming intensity. Branca, a prolifically eclectic creative mind with roots in the no wave rock scene, built a symphony so legendarily iconoclastic that it became synonymous with the furthest extremes of sound. Due to the project's challenging orchestration and significant complexity, Hallucination City has never had a full revival in New York City... until now. Don't miss this one-night-only opportunity, conducted by Reg Bloor, to experience a musical megalith revived in the city of its birth.

In between, the exhibition includes images by Milton Greene, Philippe Halsman, Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, Sam Shaw, Elliott Erwitt, and Lawrence Schiller, among others - some instantly recognizable and some rarely-seen. The exhibition also highlights the influence that Marilyn's image has had on the culture at large. Frank Powolny's photograph of Marilyn was used by Andy Warhol in his silkscreens in 1967. In 2003, David LaChapelle reinterpreted Warhol's own portrait with transgender performance artist Amanda Lepore. Patrick Demarchelier's 1990 photograph of Madonna, carefully groomed and styled as Marilyn, reflects her lasting influence as an embodiment of feminine beauty.    New York City, NY; NYC

Festival | Procession Celebrating the Festival of San Juan: Dancing & Singing
Attend a unique celebration of the Afro-Venezuelan tradition of honoring San Juan. Participate in a "walking procession": the collaborative ritual of dancing and singing to the beat of drums. The Festival of San Juan was originally a communal practice by enslaved people in the cocoa and coffee plantations in the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela. Though it has been celebrated in Venezuela for hundreds of years and celebrates the summer solstice and the birth of Saint John the Baptist, modern participation in San Juan often acts as a statement of self and pride. This recentering of San Juan in New York City is led by Willie Quintana, director of the Brooklyn musical collective Tambor y Cana. By bringing together historical touchstones, national affiliation, and personal identity, Tambor y Cana acts as a catalyst for a meaningful appreciation of and fresh engagement with Afro-Venezuelan culture.    New York City, NY; NYC

Experience ORLANDO TRIP, a genre-defying performing arts concert by Vienna-based collective Fox On Ice that reimagines the mythical figure of Orlando through music, spoken performance, film, and visual storytelling. Paying tribute to Ludovico Ariosto and Virginia Woolf, the production explores fluidity, transformation, and the crossing of borders through a contemporary European lens.

Seamlessly blending stage and film, music and literature, Fox On Ice creates an immersive world where humans and landscapes, masculinity and femininity, reality and myth continuously transform into one another. Described by critics as "a performance with a hypnotic aura" and "a successful mix of elegance and opulence," ORLANDO TRIP offers sensual access to a European myth centered on fluidity and the feminine art of transformation. The internationally acclaimed production has been presented at theaters and festivals across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia.    New York City, NY; NYC

Jazz | Vibrant Music on the Hudson: Elvis Costello & Taylor Swift Collaborator Performs Energetic & Improvisational Jazz
Live music accompanied by spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River. Wayne Tucker and the Bad Mothas perform energetic, improvisational jazz. Wayne Tucker is a trumpeter, composer, arranger, violinist, vocalist, actor, and model who has released 5 albums under his name and performs regularly with his band, The Bad Mothas. Wayne has toured and recorded with a diverse array of notables such as jazz musicians Kurt Elling, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Cyrille Aimee; pop acts Taylor Swift, David Crosby, Elvis Costello; R&B singers Ne-Yo and Gabriel Garzon-Montano; hip hop artists Jidenna and Ryan Leslie; and more. This diversity is represented in The Bad Mothas' energetic sound, where the American Songbook gets a welcome update, including selections by Michael Jackson or Earth Wind & Fire. Tenor saxophonist Miles Tucker holds a lean, mean counterpoint to Wayne's gentle affability on trumpet. Drummer Diego Joaquin Ramirez and bassist Tamir Shmerling provide solid underpinning, which accommodates a varied cast of pianists, most notably the gospel-influenced Willerm Delisfort. The group was featured in the New York Times for its steady schedule of street performances during the 2020 shutdown, representing New York City's infamous grit.    New York City, NY; NYC

Jazz | Vibrant Music on the Hudson: Psychedlic Afro-Soul Revival Celebrating Life & Creating Community
Live music accompanied by spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River. Gentleman Brawlers perform psychedelic Afro-soul revival and indie dance. Dawn Drake & ZapOte is a female "Global South" ensemble which celebrates women in world music by incorporating Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, pop and funk into a mix that is meant to make you move! With original lyrics that focus on love, empathy, environmental and social justice themes, the band offers a chance to celebrate life and create community through shared experience. A genre bender, ZapOte has a unique sound based on Dawn's musical influences which draw from Cuban salsa and timba, Haitian kompa as well as Congolese ndombolo and Nigerian Afro-beat.    New York City, NY; NYC
