Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Fun Things to Do in NYC This Weekend, Oct. 3–4: Food Festivals, Live Music and Rooftop Parties

New York doesn’t do quiet weekends. If you’re still figuring out Saturday and Sunday, here’s a lineup worth stealing: coffee and cider festivals, a pow wow in Prospect Park, a street festival taking over Atlantic Avenue, and a couple of rooftop parties to close out the night.

Saturday is already underway, and plenty is still on the schedule.

Saturday, October 3rd

The day kicks off early with the NYC Coffee Festival in Brooklyn at 9AM — coffee people, this is your morning. At 10AM, the Lenape Nations Pow Wow brings drums, dancing, and tradition to Prospect Park.

By noon you’ve got options: the Latin Food Fest uptown and Cider Feast at Industry City. Tacos or cider — or honestly, why not both if you plan it right.

Afternoon looks good too: NYC Day of Flow at Brooklyn Bridge Park at 2PM, the Creole Food Fest at Pier 3 at 3PM, and the Village Trip Concert in the Meatpacking District at 4PM.

Then the evening splits between two solid picks: the Perreito Rooftop Party at Elsewhere at 6PM, and Tootsie’s Video Vault at Littlefield at 7:30PM.

Sunday, October 4th

Sunday opens with the second day of the Lenape Nations Pow Wow in Prospect Park at 10AM — a genuine cultural experience and a great way to start the day.

At noon, two classics: the Harvest Festival on Randall’s Island and the Atlantic Antic on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, the massive street festival that draws crowds every year.

Afternoon keeps it going with Greenpoint StoopFest at 1PM in Greenpoint, then a pair of 3PM picks: Mister Sunday at Nowadays and Hot Honey Sundays at McCarren Park. At 4PM, Disco Tehran takes over Elsewhere.

Close out the weekend with laughs: Comedy + Music at Littlefield at 8PM Sunday night. A perfect landing spot before Monday does its thing.
