Circus arts on a Hudson pier is exactly the kind of thing that photographs well and costs nothing, and the demo format means you can try rather than just watch. The pier is wide open with river views on both sides. It is genuinely unusual programming for a summer Sunday.
What to expect
An open pier with performances running through the afternoon and demo areas where visitors can have a go. Come and go as you like; there is no fixed programme to sit through.
Good to know
- The event is free and outdoors on Pier 76
- Demos are open to visitors, not just performers
- Pier 76 is on the Hudson at West 36th Street
- Shade is limited, so bring water on a hot day
- The pier is fully accessible
