MetFest 2021

Join for The Met’s first-ever block party! Connect with artists and community partners from across the five boroughs during a daylong celebration on the iconic front steps and David H. Koch Plaza and in the galleries. Come together with live music, performances, art-making activities, behind-the-scenes tours, carnival stilt walkers, a citywide Double Dutch showcase, and more. MetFest honors the central role of art in our lives and highlights the resilience of New York City and its people.

Virtual programs are available to audiences near and far. Outdoor MetFest programs are free. Indoor programs are free with Museum admission. Museum admission is free for Met Members and kids under 12. For New York State residents and NY, NJ, and CT students, the amount you pay is up to you.
