"RISE OF THE PHOENOX"
A Horned Hybrid Spring Bacchanal

RSVP: https://facebook.com/events/1345649579150430/

In the Year of the Ox we rise Phoenix like from the ashes of the Rat year into an era of optimism and societal reimagining. To these ends, we blow our bullhorns, strap on plowshares and push forth tilling fertile fields. Rise we will, with feathered plumage and HORNS!
TIME & VENUE (live event)
Saturday May 8th (with raindate)
4pm-10pm with afterparty going late.
Neathermead Meadow, Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Like a mashup of Figment, Decom and Idiotarod where we demonstrate safe ways to gather while reigniting the inspiration and love that comes with our events. Thus, we come together again while building a new future in a city where much is changing. As covid restrictions are still in place, the best options are for gathering in public spaces (like so many others are doing) and Prospect Park is spectacular. Here we will do it our way - as a creative community picnic, with multiple small sound systems, in the beautiful Nethermead Meadow (by the Music Pagoda) - bringing the community back together and engaging with the public with inclusivity and all important safety precautions. Family friendly by day with adult oriented after-party with color-coded wristbands indicating safety compliance.
PHOENOX THEME & COSTUMING
All hail the Winged Bull !!! While horns of any type are always welcomed at Horned Ball, this year's theme weaves the Greek legends of the Phoenix and Taurus with the Lunar Year of the Ox for many creative possibilities. Channel inspiration from these genres, wear horns, feathers and/or togas or do something totally unexpected. And SOUND OFF with your blowable horns, shofars or vuvuzelas. Horned Ball in one of the world's greatest parks! - TOOT TOOT !!!
