WELCOME TO THE VILLAGE TRIP 2024
The final countdown to the The Village Trip 2024.
Fifteen days of rainbow-colored, family-friendly festivities to entertain, enliven and engage. A community festival for a unique community that remains a world unto itself yet which, for 150+ years, has given the wider world so much—movements that broke the boundaries of art, literature, theater, dance, music, and social justice.
Fifteen days and 45 events, an eclectic program combining “hi-jinks and high ideals” in celebration of a truly global village where, from river to river, an astonishing amount of history has been made.
Come be part of it – bring your friends and family in from the burbs, or from wherever they are, and get in the groove!
Or as indie rock trio BETTY, puts it – come plug into “the electricity that runs from this power point that can and has ignited the world.”
See you on West 4th Street on Saturday, September 14. There’s no other party in town!
