July is for Music and Outdoor Drinking: July Events in NYC

Our MO for July is: music + cocktails, OUTSIDE. Luckily, NYC is helping us out all month long with fun events. Here’s what we’re getting up to this month.

July 4th: Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks and The South Street Seaport 2nd Annual Festival

Get patriotic and peep the badass 4th of July firework display, from South Street Seaport’s 2nd annual Festival of Independence with 3 days of music, art, fashion, and food.

July 12: Celebrate Bastille Day & French Restaurant Week

While the French Holiday may not happen until the 14th, NYC’s annual festival kicks off early on Sunday, July 12th. Celebrate at the 60th street festival.

Also, this year there’s an official French Restaurant Week which is more than a week July 4 – July 17th, probably the best excuse we can think of to overindulge on escargot and foie gras on the cheap.

July 13 – 16th: The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival

The 12th annual festival celebrates Hip Hop culture of today and yesterday with lectures, exhibitions, and of course, concerts, featuring NAS, Fabolous, and more.

July 16 – 17: Coldplay at MetLife Stadium

Because come on, we should all admit that we all like Coldplay and always will. This year they’re hitting MetLife Stadium for a big time, outdoor summer bash, which is probably worth the trip to Jersey.
