Contemplate this at the annual Festival of Independence at the South Street Seaport, cosponsored this year with Noisey, VICE's music and culture channel. Performances by DJ Jonathan Toubin and Clifford the Big Red Dog (part of the family programming), among others. Sunday, July 3, and Monday, July 4, 1 to 9 pm, see website for details.
