Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Upcoming Events
Flushing Meadows Corona Parks is known for its
annual large-scale ethnic events featuring food, dance and music.
During the summer months we are the host of several Hispanic Festivals,
including Colombian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Mexican and Dominican.
We are also the home of the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival and the
Korean Harvest and Folklore Festival. The attendance at these functions
range from 50,000 to 250,000 people. All events are free
and run from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Parking can
usually be found at Citi Field for $10.00.
Should you like to hold your own event in the park, you should apply for a special events permit. Special event permits are issued per event and are required for any gathering in the park of more than 20 people.
