Tribeca Announces Live Events with In-Person Festival

Today, we got word from Tribeca Festival of a 12 day outdoor festival event to come to New York City in the near future.

Normally, at this time of the year, we would be looking forward to their annual Tribeca Film Festival but with COVID-19 expectations are limited. It’s great news that these folks will have something in store for the city that never sleeps.

Following on this page are snippets from their recent newsletter as well as their online announcement found here…

The 20th-anniversary celebration is the first major US festival to be held in person.

The culmination of New York State’s statewide initiative, NY PopsUp, to bring entertainment back, the 12-day Tribeca Festival—presented by AT&T—will host innovative community screenings across all boroughs at venues like Empire Outlets (Staten Island) and The MetroTech Commons (Brooklyn), as well as notable New York City spots like Brookfield Place New York, Pier 57 Rooftop, The Battery, Hudson Yards (Manhattan).

Tribeca Festival will usher in the return of live events in New York City with its 20th-anniversary festival this June!

We’re excited to once again bring communities together in celebration of the arts, a mission that’s long been a part of our DNA since the festival’s founding.

“Tribeca is a community of the most resilient and talented storytellers on the planet. In 20 years, that community of creators and our partners have become a family,” said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises and the Tribeca Festival. “This summer we are excited to reunite as Tribeca becomes a centerpiece of live entertainment in neighborhoods across New York City.”

“The Tribeca Film Festival was born out of our mission to bring people together in the aftermath of 9/11. We’re still doing it,” said Robert De Niro, Co-Founder of the Tribeca Festival. “And as New York emerges from the shadow of COVID-19, it seems just right to bring people together again in-person for our 20th anniversary festival.”

Tribeca Festival is working alongside the New York State Department of Health to ensure all gatherings are in compliance with COVID-19 safety protocols.
