Pop in the City
For four weeks this fall, a corner of midtown Manhattan will transform back into the most surreal celebration of pop culture ever to erupt in the city, overflowing with color, light, and fantastical, family fun. Pop In The City is a custom-built installation occupying the plaza adjacent to Greeley Square Park on Broadway between 32nd and 33rd Streets. This 120ft long walk-through experience consists of a series of interconnected domes, each housing separate interactive elements that reflect an immersive and abstract take on New York, its people, and its culture.
Visitors enter the experience through a giant slide dropping them into an ocean of 500,000 translucent balls. Adorning the interior walls of the space is a variety of oversized sculptures, which all act as a nod to the host location: the inimitable city of New York. Big apples, big buildings, big pizza, and various other NYC icons are immortalized in oversized and striking inflatable art.
The impressive “glitterball dome,” inspired by the city’s iconic Studio 54, contains a performance stage, cutting-edge lighting, and special effects, alongside 100 shimmering disco balls suspended from the ceiling. A rotating pool of carefully curated DJs, MCs, musicians, and performers bring a live element to this experience. Meanwhile, “Winter in the City,” a space filled with snowballs, snowmen, and real live snow, brings an early taste of winter to the big apple
