Don't miss the Target High Line Street Festival, our free celebration of the High Line's opening season, taking place this Sunday and generously sponsored by Target.

From 12:00 Noon to 5:00 PM, we'll take over Gansevoort Street between Ninth Avenue and Washington Street, in the Meatpacking District.

Come marvel at the World's Largest Lemonade Stand – in a 1,300 gallon custom-built Rosenwach water tank. The event will also feature inflatable sculptures, a reincarnation of the West Side Cowboy from the Federation of Black Cowboys [2], body painting, and performances by the Hungry March Band [3], Zona Del Barrio, and Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra [4], among many others.

An exciting array of hands-on activities including a special Target [5] "Hi from the High Line!" photo postcard booth, a "recycled trees" sculpture created with the Children's Museum of the Arts [6], and a Greenmarket: Youthmarket presented with the Council on the Environment of New York City [7], featuring corn roasting and cider making demonstrations and treats from local providers add even more fun to the day's activities.

Internationally-acclaimed balloon sculpture artist Jason Hackenwerth [9] will be on hand working on a large public balloon sculpture of flowers and giant insects, and silk-screen artists will help guests create their own free t-shirts, featuring images by artist Michael De Feo [10]. The Festival will feature a reading of Peter Brown's The Curious Garden [11], a New York Times best-selling children's book inspired by the High Line.

Many thanks to Target for making this event possible.
