The Tribeca Family Festival Street Fair, free and open to the public, features a lineup of events, performances and programs for the whole family.

Celebrity has also partnered with Scratch Events’ DJ offering SPIN ART on branded vinyl records. According to the cruise line, the street fair provides an opportunity for the premium vacation brand to interact with families at this festive event. This year’s Tribeca street fair will take place on Saturday, April 26, from 10 am to 6 pm, on Greenwich Street from Chambers to Hubert Streets.

The Tribeca festival claims to help filmmakers reach the broadest possible audience, enabling the international film community and general public to experience cinema and promote New York City as a major filmmaking center.

It was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2001 following the attacks on the World Trade Center, to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan.

Tribeca has screened more than 1,500 films from more than 80 countries since its first edition in 2002. Since inception, it has attracted an international audience of more than 4.5 million attendees and has generated an estimated $850 million in economic activity for New York City.
