#ArchtoberSelects at Manhattanhenge

Twice a year, the sun sets perfectly in line with the NYC street grid creating a unique event nicknamed “Manhattanhenge.” In celebration, FDR Four Freedoms Park will stay open late, offering a perfect location with which to observe this fun and beautiful phenomenon. In conjunction, Archtober will host the second annual #ArchtoberSelects Instagram competition, judged by @field_condition! Event attendees can share the photos of the sunset with #ArchtoberSelects by 3pm on Friday, July 13 for a chance at winning prizes from Archtober and NYC Ferry.

The incredible Atomic Funk Project will flex their freedom of speech and expression muscles to perform a fantastic set of funk and soul classics, Wonder Photo Shop NYC will be onsite with an interactive photo installation, and many more surprises!
