With first time exhibits like this immersive art amusement park and virtual reality, to the return of favorite holiday experiences such as the Igloo Village and ice rink at Central Park, and the Cocoa & Carols cruise around the city – the upcoming holiday season is filled with things to do in NYC.
LUNA LUNA – Forgotten Fantasy Exhibit At The Shed
A new immersive art exhibit Luna Luna, is the first ever art amusement park. From it’s origination 37 years ago in Hamburg, Germany, Luna Luna was a fantastical experience filled with rides, games, and attractions by visionary artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and David Hockney. This new immersive experience allows viewers to roam around the original rides as many interactive shows and displays.
Dagamba Rock Symphony First NYC Concert
What a beautiful debut in New York City. Dagamba delivered an exceptional performance showcasing a beautiful blend of genres, cultural fluidity and high energy. The concert entitled BACH Against The Machine took place at NYC’s Town Hall, offered an incredible fusion of the elegance of classical music with the raw energy of modern rock. They did a spectacular job keeping the essence and classical beauty of original works from masterpieces of Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky and more while injecting it with modern and fresh rock beats to liven up the concert hall. Attendees engaged with clapping, dancing and finished with a standing ovation.
Horizon Of Khufu VR Exhibit At Eclipso
