Come Out & Play Festival

We are excited to announce Come Out & Play 2012. This year Come Out & Play is once again partnering with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council to bring two days of fun and games to Lower Manhattan.

This year Come Out & Play will feature two main events, each with their own distintive games and flavor. On Friday July 13 Come Out & Play After Dark turns @Seaport and the surrounding streets into a twilight playground. Then on July 14 Come Out & Play Field Day returns to Governors Island for another day of wild new field games.

This year Come Out & Play After Dark will fill the @Seaport gallery, at the corner of Front St & Beekman St, and the surrounding streets with games big and small for an evening of fun. From small indoor games to outdoor player hunts through darkened streets, After Dark will change the way you play and interact with your city. Dash through the streets in a massive player hunt. Play life-sized video games and dive into new technology enabled sports.

Come Out & Play Field Day will feature a range of new games from open field dodgeball battles to small social games to new sports. Some games make use of new technology like smart phones and some rely on old fashioned tech like rubber balls. But each offers new ways to play and have fun.

This year the Field Day will also feature a family-friendly track of games led by our partners, ESI Design.

We are now accepting submissions for this year’s festival. Submissions will close June 1. We will be accepting submissions on a rolling basis, so apply early.
