Advance RSVP for this program is full. We’ll be welcoming walk-up visitors to join if the event is not at capacity.
As a final celebration of Iván Argote’s High Line Plinth commission Dinosaur, the High Line presents Farewell, Dinosaur, a festive send-off on March 21 offering visitors a memorable opportunity to say goodbye before the artwork departs in early April for its exciting next roost. After 18 months of adoration for Dinosaur, the monumental 21-foot aluminum pigeon that has watched over the Spur, we are throwing a joyful farewell party. Visitors are invited to come dressed up, bring their pigeon-loving friends, and pose for a professional photograph at the foot of the sculpture to mark the occasion.
The afternoon will feature a live set by DJ Tommy Sparks alongside a lively lineup of activities throughout the Spur, including family workshops and pigeon-themed trivia. Miriam Abrahams, winner of Pigeon Fest’s pigeon impersonation pageant, returns to host bingo with special prizes. Dinosaur artist Iván Argote will also be on hand to sign limited-edition posters from the High Line Shop’s pop-up, with other Dinosaur-themed merch also available for purchase.
