MacDonald Park

A non-partisan, immersive, family-friendly open-air festival designed to spark the kind of contagious energy that sends people running to the polls on the first day of early voting — blending large-scale visual installations, music, and civic education into something vivid, magnetic, and alive.

Throughout the afternoon, speakers and community groups connect that energy to clear, practical action: voter education, registration, status checks, and building a personal voting plan.
This event is brought to you by a partnership of pro-democracy groups including Queens Says No Kings, Hands Off NYC, the Women’s Action Group of Forest Hills, Let’s Talk Democracy, and the VoteDEIS Campus Coalition.
