The North Face is bringing its Climb Festival to New York City for the first time this weekend.
The two-day festival will take place at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5 on Aug. 23 and 24. The event is free and open to the public, and events will kick off at 10 a.m. both days.
Climbing enthusiasts will face a 55-foot wall with deep water below to break their fall. The event will feature paraclimbing competitions, panel discussions on climbing culture and building outdoor communities, live performances by concert collective Renegade, guest bouldering walls hosted by Movement Gyms, an artist integration by Snoeman, and DJ sets featuring Las Flaquitas, Eden, Toribio, and Cosmo.
Special guests, including The North Face athlete Alex Honnold and climbing legend Chris Sharma, will host the festivities and announce this year’s festival winner. Additional appearances will include The North Face athletes Brooke Raboutou, Nathaniel Coleman, Sam Elias, Matt Segal, Ben Mayforth, Anna Pfaff, Margo Hayes, Matty Hong and Mo Beck.
Food trucks from local restaurants will be on-site throughout the festival, and exclusive merchandise will be available for purchase, with prices ranging from $35 to $85.
