There are a variety of fun activities taking place in NYC this coming weekend:
CultureFest NYC 2007
The seventh annual CultureFest will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, from 11 am to 5:30 pm, rain or shine. Lower Manhattan's Battery Park will be transformed into a cultural playground featuring more than 125 of New York City's best-loved arts, cultural, historic and performance organizations. Take in exhibits, video displays and live performances; meet dancers, artists and museum representatives; enjoy educational and recreational activities for kids of all ages, and learn about New York City's coming arts season. It's your once-a-year chance to see and experience it all in one place, at one time, and plan your personal arts calendar for the months ahead. Best of all? It's all free!
Great Children's Read
