Family Festival Street Fair



Saturday, May 2
10:00 am to 6:00 pm
Greenwich Street between Hubert and Chambers Street


The Tribeca Family Festival once again invites you to the ultimate street fair and family celebration, in which a dazzling array of activities and performances unfold on Greenwich Street from Hubert to Chambers Street. Come meander through the heart of Tribeca as local schools, merchants, restaurants, and civic organizations join together for this all-day, family-friendly celebration.

Enjoy special performances on boulevard stages and throughout the neighborhood streets, along with surprise appearances by some of your favorite characters from movies, books, and television. The Festival Main Stage will feature professional acts of Broadway performers along with emerging talent from right here in Tribeca.

Greenwich Street will be transformed into a grand promenade of tents, where local restaurants and merchants will offer Tribeca's finest foods, refreshments, and merchandise. Local schools will sponsor a variety of fundraising activities, from hairspray painting to graffiti hats.

Fly a kite, create life-size bubbles in the Bubble Garden, get creative in the Arts & Crafts tent, dance to live music and put a smile on your face... It's a great time to take to the streets of the neighborhood, so join us for a special day of fun!

Winter, the Dolphin



Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Turtle Pond Publications, and Scholastic present:

A special event introducing the

Amazing True Story of Winter, the Dolphin

Saturday, May 2
1:00 pm
The Screening Room at Tribeca Film Center
(375 Greenwich Street: View map)

The 45-minute program will include a shortened version of the inspiring documentary Winter: The Dolphin that Could! and a Q & A with David Yates, CEO of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium; and Craig Hatkoff, #1 New York Times bestelling author of the upcoming children's book Winter's Tail: How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again.*

Winter is a remarkable dolphin who lost her tail after becoming entangled in a crab trap. She was rescued off the coast of Cape Canaveral and brought to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where she was treated and had to learn to swim again, but without her natural tail. Beyond all expectations, Winter has thrived at her home at CMA with a breakthrough prosthetic tail, designed to be flexible enough for movement and durable enough for swimming. She has become an inspiration to the disabled and able-bodied alike, and her story delivers an important message of hope, friendship, and universal acceptance.
