We had our official New York City Light Festival in DUMBO Brooklyn. The festival was a collaboration of light installations from different artists on November 6-8, 2014.
This area in Brooklyn is a beautiful piece of property near the Manhattan Bridge; the streets are cobblestone with train tracks embedded giving you a walk down NYC's memory lane. The archway was the main congregating space for the event.
I attended the event on Friday night, it was a beautiful site to see color lights reflecting off the bridge and archway even though it was freezing. They had projections against the bridges structure and DJ music echoing the archway. What amazed me was how many people showed up. When I was done with the event I walked to the closest train station at York Street (F-line) and the sidewalk was filled with so many people; it took me 20 minutes to get from the street level entrance to the platform!
On the last night of the festival I was told there were so many people they ended the event early (rumor/gossip?). If it's true I guess they will have to find a bigger space next year.
thanks for the photos. I didn;t want to go down there bc I heard the crowds were too big
