FESTIVAL OF LOVE DETAILS

Ever noticed the feeling of possibility… even love… from the streets of New York City?
As summer fades, and that Autumn in New York feeling begins – Embrace your radical optimist – and join us for a simple, lovely block party style event, inspired by Love. We believe that even seemingly mall bursts of collective loving energy can a make wonderful impact on those who attend, and our world.
-
Stroll into The East Village, turn a corner tuned to the sound of Jazz, following the tunes…until you arrive at St. Mark’s Church in The Bowery. An iconic, historic destination for Creativity, The Arts, Spirituality & Love.
Stop by to fill your heart with a song. Swing through to write a love note to a stranger who might find it when they need it most. Seek out the flowers in concrete with our scavenger hunt. Find sanctuary through design by contributing to our Love Alter activation – and more.
The Sanctuary Party is our evening event inside the iconic St. Mark’s Church’s Sanctuary. This portion of the event is private. -
We are collecting simple, positive, empowering notes from people, that will be tucked around the city, left as special positive messages “Love Notes.”
The goal is to spread love, joy, and encourage positive mental health when someone least expects it.

Jazz, the soundtrack of Manhattan, the background noise to a New Yorker’s life, a musical mediation.
Take a moment to listen, tune in and enjoy the present moment. -
Flower Power meets a Talking Head’s inspired search and find floral game. Can you find all of the flower-full moments among the concrete?

Come together, to design a public Love Altar. Choose from symbolic elements and place your “love prayer” on the alter to cultivate a collective consciousness activation supporting love in the world.

ABOUT LOVE
The Festival of Love is a small moment, a fleeting sparkle – a dash of World Peace, made possible by those who attend. The Festival is designed to offer you a feeling of delight, New York pedestrian magic, an opportunity to dance through chaos – as Sanctuary.
What about Love?
Have we forgotten that we are Love? Have we typeset the four glyphs to exhaustion? Printed LOVE onto landfills of merch, burnt-out on meaning by over hearting social posts – bastardizing the sentiment with one night swipes and unscripted dramas? Love! Love! Love?
Love is immaterial, ancient, steadfast. Love is an invitation to accept your radical optimism whether you trust it or not. You are Love, as we are Love. Love is the nuance– the antidote to all that you find yourself, I find myself, we find ourselves complaining about. It’s you, it’s me, and we are all together. All you need is Love, Everybody.
