MacDonald Park

A non-partisan, immersive, family-friendly open-air festival designed to spark the kind of contagious energy that sends people running to the polls on the first day of early voting — blending large-scale visual installations, music, and civic education into something vivid, magnetic, and alive.
Visitors can add their voice to the WHY WE VOTE wall, move through bold photo and art installations, and step into a crowd generating real momentum around showing up.
Throughout the afternoon, speakers and community groups connect that energy to clear, practical action: voter education, registration, status checks, and building a personal voting plan.
This event is brought to you by a partnership of pro-democracy groups including Queens Says No Kings, Hands Off NYC, the Women’s Action Group of Forest Hills, Let’s Talk Democracy, and the VoteDEIS Campus Coalition.
Don’t miss it.
