MET FEST (SEA at the Met Museum)

Join us for The Met’s first-ever block party! Connect with artists and community partners from across the five boroughs during a daylong celebration on the iconic front steps and David H. Koch Plaza, and in the galleries. Come together with live music, performances, art-making activities, behind-the-scenes tours, carnival stiltwalkers, a citywide Double Dutch showcase, and more. MetFest honors the central role of art in our lives and highlights the resilience of New York City and its people.

Drop by for an hour, or spend the whole day with us—in person or online. Virtual programs are available to audiences near and far.

Free for all ages and abilities. Schedules and select programs are available in multiple languages.
