Things To Do in Brooklyn this Weekend / Events NYC
APRIL is the month of rain and nature blooming once again. The days are much longer and lighter.
This month we celebrate Easter in April [in 2024 it was in March], Earth Day, Passover, Eid Al Fitr which is the end of Ramandan, April Fools Day and of course we must file and pay our taxes. And the Brooklyn Cyclones Home Opener is April 4, 2025.
This is also the month of the Tartan Scottish Day Parade, Persian Day Parade, and the Sikh Day Parade in Manhattan, as well as the Bangladeshi Parade in Queens. Also the International Auto Show and the Macy's Flower Show begins.
There's plenty to do in the parks, the farmers markets and street fairs begin anew, and cultural happenings abound.
Brooklyn is also the host of numerous concerts, theater and film events, as well as great food, parks and good public transit.
The photo above was taken at Luna Park in Coney Island in a prior year. The park opened for the season on March 29th 2025.
