 Wikipedia:Wiki World's Fair

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    < ... />
    Governors Island is just awesome.
    < see pic in original />
    You'll get a bunch of these to build your Wiki-Pavilion on site.

    The Wiki World's Fair / Free Culture Festival will be held on Governors
    Island in beautiful New York Harbor on Saturday July 7 (raindate: Sunday 
July
    8) as part of the Great American Wiknic, and as part of Wikimedia New York
    City's welcoming international visitors for Wikimania Takes Manhattan.

    The event will combine a wiki-picnic and civic celebration in the southern
    section of the Parade Ground, sharing an area with the FIGMENT participatory
    art festival's arcade-themed artist-designed minigolf course, sculpture
    garden, and treehouse.

    The celebration will be led by Wikimedians and Free Culture Alliance NYC,
    with DIY fair pavilions (bamboo poles to be provided!) for numerous
    represented Wikiverse and Free Culture initiatives.

    You can sign up below, or also RSVP on the meetup.com page.

    The event will last from 11am to 3pm.

    For the regular monthly wiki-meetings in the New York area, see
    Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC.
