☞ SEE: The Common Ground Festival 2013

Saturday, September 21st, 2:00PM, The Common Ground Festival at Morningside Park, 114th Street and Morningside Avenue.  Summer might be almost officially over, but you can still have plenty of fun in the sun. This family-oriented festival affords kids the opportunity to do just that this Saturday. Presented by Friends of Morningside Park (and taking place by the park’s Morningside Pond), the fete features face painting, balloon animals, puppet shows, live music and more. At 8pm, check out the giant handmade paper lanterns of the Morningside Lights procession, which winds through the park and illuminates the night.
