ABOUT THE VILLAGE TRIP
▸ 2022 Dates: Sept 10 – Sept 24
▸ The Village Trip is an annual music and arts festival founded in 2018 by
journalist and author Liz Thomson to champion the cultural legacy of downtown
New York City.
▸ It’s a celebration of vibrant neighborhoods including Greenwich Village, the
West Village and East Village, anchored by Washington Square Park and
Tompkins Square Park, the beating hearts of bohemian culture.
▸ These communities have nurtured musicians, composers, and singers;
playwrights, poets, and novelists; painters, sculptors, and performance artists
whose work has made a powerful impact far beyond the island of Manhattan.
▸ Their spirit of social activism has flourished for generations; the good vibrations
of these creative non-conformists and shape-shifting troublemakers resonating
around the world and bringing about lasting change.
