Pigeon Fest, held at the High Line on June 14, honors the often-misunderstood pigeon through various activities including carnival games, art workshops, and a unique Pigeon Impersonation Pageant. Running from noon to 8 pm, the event is inspired by Iván Argote's aluminum pigeon sculpture, reflecting the complex bond between New Yorkers and pigeons. The festival features various performances, ecological discussions, and a lively atmosphere showcasing the city's artistic and natural elements, making it an engaging celebration of urban avian life.
"This festival felt like a fitting way to celebrate New Yorkers' dynamic relationship with art, nature and, most specifically, pigeons."
"Love them or hate them, people are fascinated by our feathered friends."
