Egg Rolls, Egg Creams, and Empanadas!

Sunday, June 18 | 12:00 – 4:00 PM
Eldridge Street between Division & Canal Streets

In its 22nd year, the Egg Rolls, Egg Creams, and Empanadas Street Festival is a celebration of the diverse cultures that make up our Lower East Side and Chinatown community. Experience the spirit of this ever-changing neighborhood and the immigrant experience in New York City today through music, dance, crafts, cultural practices, foodways, and more!

The Lower East Side on the island of Manhattan is a neighborhood brimming with history. Historically, the “Lower East Side” referred to the area alongside the East River from roughly the Manhattan Bridge/Canal Street up to 14th, and Broadway on the west. Today, those boundaries have expanded and shifted, much like the communities who called “the LES” side home.

We are so pleased to be partnering with our Lower East Side neighbors including Loisaida, Henry Street Settlement, and Kehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum.

The Egg Rolls, Egg Creams, and Empanadas Festival is supported, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts; New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council; and the Jewish Community Youth Foundation.

The Museum will be closed to visitors during the festival.
