Sure, having free time in the summer is a blessing. But sometimes, we might run out of ideas for what to do with all of our free time. Yes, laying out on the beach every day is amazing, but sometimes, it’s nice to switch it up and find some different activities to take part in!

If you are looking for some fun, FREE activities to take part in this summer, we’ve got you covered. Citi Summer in the Squarepresented by the Union Square Partnership, is offering over 155 free summer activities each Thursday from June 14th-August 9th in Union Square Park. From fitness classes and outdoor yoga, to “Throwback Thursday” movie nights, to family-friendly activities like story time and live music sessions, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.
