Grab your familia and join us for the 35th Annual Museum Mile Festival! This year El Museo will feature outdoor art-making activities, dance and music performances, and the opening of El Museo’s Bienal 2013: HERE IS WHERE WE JUMP. A full line up of activities and performances is coming soon!

The Museum Mile Festival began as initiative to grow museum audiences in the area, and to increase support for the arts during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s. Museum Mile was formed as a consortium by the museums that share the Fifth Avenue address and the first festival, held in June of 1978, was an instant success. Not only did it expose New Yorkers and NYC visitors to an incredible collection of New York’s artistic riches, it also brought together disparate New Yorkers. From El Barrio and the Upper East Side to the winding streets of the Village and the clustered neighborhoods of the outer-boroughs, people came to celebrate their shared pride in their city. The Museum Mile Festival promotes public awareness through increased visibility, accessibility and attendance at all the museums, and continues to bring many New Yorkers to upper Fifth Avenue for the first time.
