Free and Cheap Events Calendar

Looking for something to do around New York City? Here’s a list of upcoming free and cheap events.  

These days, nearly everything is virtual, but as soon they resume, the NYC events calendar will feature them, including parades, street fairs, film and food festivals, events for kids, and much more.  After all, New York City is the greatest city on the planet, and there's something to do here every day.  

Click each title to see more information about the event or deal. You can also view the whole month (click “By Month”) or see a specific date (click By Day).  

We strive to be accurate, but venues and organizations sometimes change their plans without notifying us.  It's always smart to phone ahead or check the event's own website or social media before heading out.  

You can also submit your event or deal.  Email us at info@nyconthecheap.com and we'll check it out.  

We also invite you to subscribe to NYC on the Cheap.  It's free to subscribe.  

Subscribers get one email a day, Monday through Saturday. Subscribers also get access to special subscriber-only deals and giveaways, including free tickets to shows, sample products and more.
