The Slambovian Circus of Dreams

FREE CONCERT: The Slambovian Circus of Dreams

Saturday, October 3 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The Village Trip’s signature free concert will take place this year on Saturday October 3, in the Meatpacking District on Gansevoort Plaza where you can bask in some great music while enjoying the delicious fare on offer from the many restaurants and bars that ring the Plaza.

And we’re thrilled to present The Slambovian Circus of Dreams, whose Woodstock-tinged psychedelia, with subtle accents of southern rock, Celtic and British folk, is as delicious a slice of Americana pie as you’re ever likely to find. Prepare to be blown away!

"We're excited to be part of The Village Trip, a festival that honors the creative spirit and legacy of Greenwich Village,” said Joziah and Tink. “The heritage of that adventurous and upending time opened our minds and hearts toward creating a better world. Our band is happy to be carrying that 'flag' with you all into the 21st century!"

As the old song goes:
It’s an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
Dancing in the street

“We’re thrilled to welcome The Village Trip Festival to Gansevoort Plaza for the first time this year, bringing its spirit of creativity, community and cultural exchange into the heart of the Meatpacking District," says Jeffrey LeFrancois, Executive Director of the Meatpacking Business Improvement District."It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the artists, writers and musicians whose ideas helped shape New York and to experience the energy that makes Lower Manhattan such an enduring center for artistic expression.”

So, gather family, friends and neighbors, and boogie on down to join the fun and fandango of The Village Trip’s great street party! See you there!
