Grand Central Terminal invites visitors and commuters to this three-day event featuring free, family-friendly entertainment in Vanderbilt Hall. Formerly known as Life's a Picnic, this year's event is focused on family fun with special performances, daily raffles, face painting, and arts and crafts provided by Grand Central shops like Kidding Around Toys and LittleMissMatched.
Broadway performers from "Wicked", "Something Rotten!" and "Kinky Boots" will appear during Broadway Hour, held from 1:30 PM- 2:30 PM on the second and third days of the festival. The event will also feature an interactive "School of Rock" photo booth.
Brooklyn Children's Museum will also host daily educational programs and Grammy award winner Tim Kubart and his Loog Guitar will help bring the musical entertainment.
With Astroturf flooring, picnic tables bedecked with classic gingham tablecloths, and live entertainment, visitors can relax in air-conditioned comfort, purchase food and treats from select vendors setting up shop in Vanderbilt Hall, and receive a free gift with a $5 food purchase. Participating food and drink vendors include Shake Shack, Jacques Torres Ice Cream, Li-Lac Chocolates, Café Grumpy, and Zaro's Family Bakery among others.
