MetFest 2023

Calling all boroughs: get ready to rock the block with the return of MetFest! The Metropolitan Museum of Art people-powered block party is back with live music, energizing performances, and artist-led experiences for all ages.

All outdoor events are free; indoor events are free with Museum admission, which is for any New York State residents as well as New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut students, pay as you wish.
