Spring Fling 2026

Brand and Corporate Parner Application: 6th Annual Spring Fling (2026)

Location: Bella Abzug Park (524 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001)

Welcome to the 6th Annual Spring Fling. What started as a vision for a free public art & music festival has blossomed into a New York City tradition. Situated in the heart of Hudson Yards—one of the most modern and high-traffic districts in the world—Spring Fling offers brands a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse demographic of commuters, tourists, and local residents. Following the success of past partners like Coca-Cola and  Liquid Death, we are excited to invite new brands to "Spring Forward" with us for our 2026 season.

Strategic Flexibility for 2026

To maximize accessibility and brand customization, we have restructured our 2026 partnership tiers:

• Lowered Base Activation Fees: We have reduced our base space-only registration fees by up to 20%.
• The BYO Model: By switching to a "Bring Your Own" (BYO) setup model, we allow brands the full flexibility to bring their own professional, custom-fabricated activations and branded tents.
