Queens Day is back!
NYC Parks, the Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park, and Queens Borough President Richards are bringing Queens Day back to Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Queens Day will activate every corner of FMCP. Some of the free activities include: all-ages tennis programming by the USTA, soccer clinics courtesy of the CityParks Foundation, canoe excursions on Meadow Lake led by the NYC Parks Urban Park Rangers. The Flushing Meadows Golf Center will offer free mini-golf for kids.
Student performers from Queens College will provide daytime entertainment at the Unisphere. The Queens Museum will invite families to unleash their creativity with art activities on the front lawn. Animal lovers can learn about wildlife conservation from the Queens Zoo.
To keep the good times rolling, vendors from the beloved Queens Night Market will be selling their world-class global cuisines throughout the day. Finally, Queens icon DJ Rekha will close out with their Basement Bhangra Beyond festival, sponsored by Queens Borough President Richards and the City Parks Foundation’s Capital One Summerstage concert series!

Summer in FMCP:
Vision 2050: Community Engagement in FMCP
Flushing Meadows Corona Park (FMCP) is one of New York City’s most iconic and diverse public spaces shaped by generations of communities, cultures, and everyday experiences. As the city evolves, so does the opportunity to reimagine how this extraordinary landscape can continue to serve residents, visitors, and communities for decades to come.
The Vision 2050 initiative is a community-driven planning process led by the Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park to create a long-term framework for the park’s future. Through public engagement, research, and collaboration, this effort will identify priorities, challenges, and opportunities to help guide investment and stewardship over the coming decades.
Visit www.allianceforfmcp.org/2050 to learn more about this initiative and how you can get involved!
Whether it’s mini-concerts from Queens College students, weeknight Salsa parties, or our crowd-favorite Silent Disco — the Alliance has your Flushing Meadows Corona Park soundtrack covered.
Zumba, Pilates and Yoga — All free and under the Unisphere through August 18!
