It's fun, fun, fun in the sun, until you take a steam bath on the subway platform! In the meantime perform some rain dances and enjoy summer in the city with these great events (with many indoor options!)

The Musical Saw Festival is actually on August 7th (not on the July date you have listed). Could you fix that, please? So it doesn't mislead people... (I discovered it by going into the link you provided).
Thank you for the information, though!
Thanks Julie, the date has been updated!
Sorry to bother you... but the Saw Festival mentioned above is on August 7th (as Julie above pointed out) - not 10th... must be a slip of the finger.
Thank you for the great summer suggestions!
