Ten days of art, music, theater, comedy, cabaret, talks, and walking tours will honor the boundary-breaking spirit that has made Greenwich Village, the East Village, and the Lower East Side into a vital crucible for creative action for more than 250 years. 

NEW YORK, NY – JULY 29th, 2026 -The Village Trip Festival 2026 will take place September 25 through October 4, 2026, across Greenwich Village, the East Village, and the Lower East Side. This year’s theme, Revolutionary Voices, honors the songwriters, composers, authors, actors, artists, and activists whose work began in the Village and rippled out to reshape how the world understands art, freedom, and the human condition — from Woody Guthrie to Leonard Bernstein, Paul Robeson to Bob Dylan, and Eugene O’Neill to Dorothy Day. At a moment when so much of the progress made in the past is now under attack and our shared values are being undermined, The Village Trip calls attention to the people who raised their voices to support those in need and stood up to those in power.
