It certainly isn’t summer in New York City without the smell of street food filling the air, outdoor concerts, and local flare engulfing entire neighborhoods.

The NY Daily News recently featured the Harlem Arts Festival in their Ultimate Summer Guide, which outlines all major summer events throughout the City.

For it’s inaugural festival, the Harlem Arts Festival will easily become a staple of summer culture in New York. How could one resist a “free fest that sheds light on all Harlem has to offer.” Located in Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, local artists will showcase their work on a gallery walk while Harlem musicians tear up the renovated Richard Rogers Amphitheater. Free your schedule for this Ultimate free event, and enjoy the art, music, and dance local Harlemites have to offer!
