The Manhattan 
Wonderwalk!

 The Manhattan 
Wonderwalk! 
Saturday, Sept 10th
 10am – 12am

It's the 3rd Annual Manhattan Wonderwalk! Come join us as we stroll nearly the entirety of the great Island of Manhattan. We will visit familiar spots and little known pathways; we'll see gorgeous public art and mundane displays of beauty. There will also be site-specific performances along the way. You may walk part of the way or all the way, just buy your map for $20, and you'll be able to find us at any point throughout the day. (NOTE: tickets are $10 for Secret City members.)

We'll start by stretching together at 9:30am, up in Inwood Hill Park, departing at 10am sharp. We will follow a thrilling path of adventure, ending at the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge at midnight. That's a 14-hour walk. With breaks and amazing surprises all along the way.

Walk the whole day OR Walk part of the day!!

 Either way, join us for this radical, community art event that celebrates the city of New York.

Featuring an amazing line-up of artists and performers, including Sxip Shirey, Greg Walloch, Leah Coloff, Molly Anne Coogan, Jonny Rodgers, Daniel Zaitchik and more!

Approximately 15 miles of walking, over the course of 14 hours
