New York City Naturalist Club: Nature Exploration at Fort Tryon Park
Join The New York City Naturalist Club! Our Urban Park Ranger hiking guides will introduce you to the hidden gems of New York City. On our hikes, you may explore nature, discover our city’s urban forests, or just unplug from the world to clear your head. Hiking programs feature intensity levels ranging from light (a leisurely stroll on mostly paved paths), to moderate (longer, faster-paced hikes on rugged terrain), to vigorous (long distance, with hills and rugged terrain).
Medieval Festival in Ft. Tryon Park
Camelot Returns to Manhattan….Rub the rust off thy armor, iron thy chain mail, gird thy loins and polish up on ye chivalry because this annual event is one of the largest and longest running events in NYC! It is sponsored by the City of New York Parks and Recreation and the Washington Heights and Inwood Development Corporation, a not-for-profit organization serving Upper Manhattan since 1978
Admission is free. The festival is a unique chance to experience the Medieval period in the most authentic setting this side of the Atlantic. The area around the Cloisters Museum in Fort Tryon Park is transformed into a medieval market village where knights in armor, jugglers, jesters, magicians, musicians, storytellers, and puppeteers will perform. A blacksmith, manuscript illuminator, pottery decorator, wood carver and other artisans will demonstrate their crafts. Performers and fairgoers dress in historical costumes. Medieval food is available and craft items will be sold. The afternoon culminates with a jousting event between knights on horseback!
