New York City culture has never fell short of excitement and the activities are plentiful when the fall season rolls around. With the culture that each neighborhood carries, there seems to be an event for everyone in one way or another.
Now that the season is changing and the weather is still at a decent temperature, NYC is the host to an array of events from art galleries to music festivals. Here are three upcoming fall events that are a great way to enjoy your neighborhood and get a hands on experience among the different communities of various boroughs.
Atlantic Antic

The 40th annual Atlantic Antic is noted as NYC’s largest street fair and this year’s festival is sure to be the biggest one yet. With over 500 local and national food and craft vendors, this street festival is expected to attract thousands.
Although the Atlantic Antic isn’t just food specific, the festival incorporates stages throughout its 10 block radius for live musical performances from a variety of cultural genres.
This event began as a tribute to the assembly of cultures living throughout the Brooklyn borough. Since its inception, this festival not only grew in stature but in real estate as well as it spans from across four neighborhoods from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue.

When’s the last time you remember really recognizing Columbus Day since your school days? Well, you might not get the day off anymore but this Columbus Day exhibit from Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi, definitely is a viable option for the special day.
Nishi’s exhibit, Discovering Columbus is a furnished living room modeled around the statue of Columbus in the middle of Columbus Circle. The living room’s view is more than astonishing from the 6th story and it gives an up-close look at the statue and its weathering.
