FLUSHING — The 'Only in Queens' summer festival will commemorate the World's Fair anniversary for its third consecutive year.
The event will feature a free concert, exhibitions and a food fair at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park on June 26 from 1 to 8 p.m., the Queens borough president announced Tuesday.
“Music, food, and fun in the park are what New York summers are made of, and we’re proud to bring it all together this June,” Borough President Melinda Katz, who organized the event with the Parks Department, said in a statement.
“Bring your entire family and friends to explore some of the very best of ‘The World’s Borough’ right at your fingertips.”
The concert, starting at 4:30 p.m. will feature R&B singer Ginuwine, hip-hop group Kid 'N Play, singer Tristan "Mack" Wilds — who also appeared in "The Wire" and the CW's "90210," and Queens native DJ Camilo.
