It is a citywide movement, celebrating New York's comeback. Lincoln Center is one of the hundreds of organizations taking part in the festival, which features 300+ organizations across all sectors. The Festival of New York runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

The festival of New York is also about discovering new open spaces and cleaning city parks.
