The city Parks Department will host a festival Sunday at the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park to commemorate the 75th and 50th anniversaries of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs.
The festival, set to go on rain or shine, was organized by Parks, Borough President Melinda Katz and state Assemblywoman Margaret Markey (D-Maspeth).
