Lower East Side History Month returns with a full slate of events

Lower East Side History Month is back, officially starting today... and bringing a packed calendar of events across the neighborhood. 

More than 70 local cultural and community organizations, small businesses, and residents are hosting exhibits, walking tours, talks, and festivals throughout the month. 

You can find the full lineup of (mostly free) events here. 

The annual celebration launched in 2014 to highlight the neighborhood's history and foster stronger connections among those who live and work here, per organizers.
