As New York City braces for a stretch of 80-degree days this week, Tribeca’s 25th anniversary edition is also bringing some serious heat to New York’s after-hours circuit.
Running June 3-14, this year’s festival opened with Questlove’s new Earth, Wind & Fire documentary and a live performance from Earth, Wind & Fire and The Roots at the Beacon Theatre, before closing with “Alicia Keys: Girl From Hell’s Kitchen.”
In between, the milestone edition is set to turn lower Manhattan into a revolving door of filmmakers, musicians, fashion insiders and brand power players, with Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal anchoring a slate of private events backed by partners including OKX, Chanel, Diageo, AT&T, 8AM and City National Bank.
“At Tribeca, the Festival experience doesn’t end when the credits roll. Thanks to our partners, we’re able to create spaces where filmmakers, artists, and audiences can come together to connect, share ideas, and celebrate creativity,” Megan Younger, SVP of Partnerships, Client Services & Activation at the Tribeca Festival, tells Variety. “From intimate gatherings to tentpole celebrations, these events are an essential part of the Festival experience. They capture the unforgettable energy that makes Tribeca so special and serve one of our core goals: bringing people together through storytelling, culture, and joy.”
