You and your kids will be fascinated by this contest that leaves audiences as the winners, since it’s all music to your ears. And what a great location for a fun performance, right in the heart of Union Square, which many proclaim to be the soul of the city.

Anything you can imagine can likely be found here, since this is considered a true shopper’s paradise, and with good reason. If shopping isn’t on your list, the square still offers plenty of attractions, whatever your interest might be. Restaurants, galleries, and people-watching are some favorite options here.

The bell ringing contest just makes it one of those no-excuses kind of destinations for this date. With ten stores offering something sweet, you could spend the day just loading up on sugar!
