With cobblestone streets, strolling performers, and breathtaking panoramic views, the South Street Seaport is a living slice of New York City’s history. When the breeze blows in from the harbor, it’s easy to imagine Lower Manhattan’s 19th-century heyday as the nation’s busiest port—the days when tall clipper ships docked with exotic cargo from India or Java. Today, the Seaport has been faithfully restored to honor this era, complete with a world-class maritime museum and six historic ships. It’s an only-in-New York setting, serving up spectacular waterfront views along with a terrific selection of more than 100 shops, cafes, and restaurants.

South Street Seaport is a fantastic setting for summer entertainment and outdoor events. The River To River Festival at Seaport Music takes place at the heart of the waterfront on Pier 17. All events are free; there’s plenty of room to stand, set up a lawn chair, or spread out a blanket.
