Times Square Family Weekend is an event organized by the Times Square Alliance to create family-friendly attractions and offers for the families expected to flock to the area.

Family Weekend 2003 featured free balloon animals, face-painting, jugglers, plate spinners and musical entertainment at the Times Square Information Center and at Planet Hollywood. Families learned to shake, shimmy and samba at workshops hosted by professional dancers and musicians at the New Victory Theater. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum offered young fans the chance to have their photos taken with a famous celebrity's sculpture, and children were thrilled to meet Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar at a Broadway McDonald's. In all, more than a dozen Times Square establishments from Broadway Joe's Steakhouse to the Manhattan Chili Company to the Capezio Dance Theatre Shop and more offered a host of special discounts for the day.
