The North Face Climbs New Heights with Brooklyn Bridge Park Festival

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.
