NYCxDESIGN Festival Opening Party

Kickoff the festival and celebrate great design in one of the city's freshest architectural event spaces.

NYCxDESIGN proudly launches the 2026 Festival with our highly anticipated Opening Party set within the iconic 28 Liberty in Downtown Manhattan.

Bringing together leaders and rising voices from across the global design community, this celebratory evening marks the official start of the Festival and sets the tone for a week of creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Guests will gather in one of New York City’s most striking contemporary spaces - where architecture, light, and atmosphere converge - to toast the power and possibility of design in shaping our world.

As the city’s design community comes together under one roof, the night promises to spark new ideas, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate the vibrant creative spirit that makes New York a global design capital.
