The 8th Annual Tribeca Film Festival's Family Festival

The TriBeCa Film Festival once again turned to Empire Entertainment to produce the festival's largest single event - the TriBeCa Family Festival. The multi-faceted street festival pulled in an estimated 200,000 visitors throughout the day and served as a focal point for the growing celebration of the revival of Lower Manhattan. Just as in previous years, this year's Family Festival offered more than 50 tents of entertainment, activities, and food and stretched across 12 city blocks. Four outdoor stages presented a diverse collection of New York-based performers and community talent, including Shrek The Musical, National Double Dutch League and The New Jersey Nets Dancers.

Highlights included an arts and crafts pavilion, a BMX street course from X-Games, a basketball shooting court sponsored by the New York Knicks, hundreds of street performers, face painters, kite-making, sidewalk chalk art, and numerous other kid-friendly activities. The event also included the participation of dozens of restaurants and merchants in lower Manhattan and the spontaneous participation of schools, community groups and all manner of special interests and institutions in TriBeCa. Empire Entertainment served as Executive Producers and managed all production and logistics elements of the entire event and coordinated all services including tenting, integration with city agencies, security, generators and electrical power distribution, decor, staging, sound, lighting, labor, decor, bathrooms, street cleanup, video and A/V, event design and layout, stage management and overall event management.

Empire is a major producer of public events and is proud to be a partner of TriBeCa Productions in the TriBeCa Film Festival.
