The North Face is set to redefine the climbing experience with its inaugural Climb Festival, taking place on August 23-24, 2024, at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. This two-day event will be a thrilling blend of athleticism, music, and community.
At the heart of the festival is a 55-foot climbing wall, challenging participants to test their limits in a unique, deep-water setting. Professional climbers like Alex Honnold and Chris Sharma will be on hand to inspire and entertain the crowd.
Beyond the climbing wall, attendees can enjoy a variety of activities, including panel discussions on climbing culture, bouldering walls courtesy of Movement Gyms, and a curated selection of food trucks. To top it off, live performances by culture-driven experiential producers Renegade, a lineup of DJs, including Las Flaquitas, Eden, Toribio, and Cosmo, will provide the perfect soundtrack for the event.
Open daily at 10:00 AM ET, Climb Festival is open to the public and guests can register online HERE to participate in the competitions.
