Are you ready for a full eleven days of artistic expression, from dance to music and theatre to visual art?

The 15^th annual River to River Festival will enliven Lower Manhattan from June 16^th– June 26^th.  From the Hudson to the East River and from the Seaport District to Battery Park, the festival brings workers, residents and visitors together for a rich array of live experiences.  It’s all free for the public and is also a great chance to see Lower Manhattan’s parks, plazas and harbor — and to soak up its history.

Featuring dozens of artists and performers — including dancer Eiko Otake and musician Alicia Hall Moran — River to River provides a platform for the arts and encourages artists to adapt their work to public spaces in new and innovative ways. Not only is this festival a way for residents, workers and visitors to come together, it is also a way for performers to put their name and style out there for the public.

Come support up-and-coming performers  and experience New York City’s lively, vivid public spaces. Click here for more details and information.
