Free NYC Events List January 2020

Do you remember Blockbuster? I remember going there in the 2000s to rent movies, and now there is only 1 left! Going to the Blockbuster pop up was so nostalgic!

Happy New Year! Do you have a new year resolution for this year? My goal for 2020 is to learn more about travel hacking. I want to be better about points because who does not like saving money, free flights, and free hotel stays? That is my personal finance goal for 2020!

For this month’s free events expect pop ups from Tiffany & Co, Intersect by Lexus, Woolrich, Star Wars, and Jumanji. Some of the other events include a vision board workshop, Bumble Bff, comedy potluck, and a Sip and Read book club. In addition, get into your fitness new year resolution goals by burning off calories at dog yoga, hiking, cardio ballet, HIIT, runs, and yoga with journaling.

Please see below for a list of selected free events that are occurring in January 2020 in NYC. Please note, this post will be updated periodically, so please be sure to pin/bookmark and to check in from time to time for more events and updates.

Please note, times and things may change, so it is best to contact the event organizer for the latest updates. The event organizer can be found in the link in the title. Events may also fill up to capacity.

Pop-ups may occur on multiple dates, and to avoid repetition only a few dates were selected for this post.

Free NYC Events List (Monday, 12/30/19-Sunday, 1/5/20)

At the the Amazon X Refinery 29 pop up I was able to get a free dress from Jamie Chung that retails for $126+! For $126 you can easily book a round trip flight from San Diego, California to San Francisco, California.

Season’s Greetings! Did everyone enjoy a nice Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa? I have been enjoying the sunshine in Los Angeles, and have yet to experience a white Christmas! Right before I left New York, I did manage to get a free dress from the Amazon X Refinery 29 pop up as an early holiday gift. This dress costs $126+ and I got it for free from Jamie Chung’s styling session. Jamie was looking for people to model clothing items to the audience, and in exchange you were able to keep the item.

For this week’s edition of the free NYC event list expect a New Year’s Resolution Group Run, hiking, intention setting yoga, vision board workshop, candle lit yoga, Times Square Ball Drop, and fireworks. There are also cardio workouts and Instagram-able pop ups from the Woolrich, Star Wars, and Intersect by Lexus.

There were nice decorations and free Oreo at the pop up! Unfortunately, this Oreo pop up is now closed, but you can still enjoy the other free events this week.

Happy Hanukkah! Today is the first day of Hanukkah and it will be Christmas and Kwanzaa later this week. Is anyone going anywhere fun for the holidays? I’m flying back to Los Angeles for the holidays, and I cannot wait to have fun to have fun in the sun and to catch up with friends and family.

For this week’s edition of the free NYC event list expect Instagram-able pop ups from the Woolrich, Star Wars, and Intersect by Lexus. There are also free runs, boot camp, and yoga classes to help burn off holiday calories. I hope everyone has a nice holiday! Enjoy :).

Free NYC Events List (Monday, 12/16/19-Sunday, 12/22/19)

One of my favorite free events is beauty events. Makeovers at Sephora usually require a minimum $50 purchase, and the makeover at Amazon Beauty event was free. $50 is easily a roundtrip bus ride from New York to Boston or Washington D.C.

The holidays are coming! Expect more holiday and pop ups this week. For this week’s edition of the free NYC event list expect Instagram-able pop ups from the Beatles, Woolrich, Smith & Sinclair London, Time Shop with Chick-fil-A, Amazon, Target, Lucky No. Candles, and Intersect by Lexus. Also events about entrepreneurship, making video content, going inside out, and affording a trip to Iceland.

Pop ups are a great way to sample products for free! At the Crabtree & Evelyn X Lively POP-UP I got samples for Pomp & Whimsy, Crabtree, and a Lively goodie bag. For this week expect pop ups from Chick-fil-A, Amazon, and Hella Cocktail Co.

*Paying for a coworking space is expensive up front, so experience the space by going to a free event there.* I was able to check out the Assemblage coworking space and attend sound meditation for free! Sound meditation is usually around $20, so going for free was awesome. For $20 you can easily save this for a bus ride from New York to Boston, Philadelphia, or Washington D.C.

It is going to be December by the end of this week! 2019 is coming closer than we think! There is still time to enjoy the rest of 2019 though.
