One of my favorite evenings of the year is next week, and I am looking forward to sharing this cultural experience with my son. Get your strollers, Bjorns, Ergo's, slings, or whatever you use to tote your kids to the Museum Mile Festival, known as New York's Biggest Block Party, on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009, 6pm - 9pm.* Featuring FREE ACCESS from 6pm - 9pm to NINE museums along the mile including Guggenheim, The Jewish Museum, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Neue Galerie, & the MET (pictured above).
Museum Mile Festival closes Fifth Ave. to traffic from 82nd St. to 105th St. to provide free access to museums along the Museum Mile, magic shows, live bands outside the museums, art-in-the-street, and other entertainment for children.
Last year, I watched the artist De La Vega chalk up the street with his cool artistic designs and quotes, popped into the MET to see their Fashion & Superheroes exhibit, and grabbed some real estate on the lawn to have a glass of wine at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum.
Sure, it will be a bit different this year as I have my 23 pound boy in tow, but I am very excited to share this experience with him. Let's hope for good weather because the event is rain or shine! To read more about this event, check out the site for the 31st Museum Mile Festival, & spread the word...
I know am biased about events going on for parents and kids on the upper east side because that is where I live. Please feel free to share some cool upcoming kids events in your hood.
