Join us for the Labor Day Weekend 15th Annual NYC Unicycle Festival!

Four Days of One-Wheel Madness!

Produced by Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc., the New York City Unicycle Festival brings together recreational riders, world-class performers, mountain and off-road unicycle enthusiasts, mono-wheel vehicle inventors, and thousands of people who have not ridden in umpteen years, along with circus enthusiasts, extreme sports viewers, and anyone seeking an unusual sight - even for NYC!

Schedule of Events:

August 29, 2024:

Battery Park to Central Park

We’ll start in Battery Park City and ride along the Hudson River greenway with a nice breeze though our hair as we make our way to the loop of Central Park. We’ll see many of the park’s famous attractions. Then we’ll ride down Broadway to 42nd St (Times Square) where you can have New York’s famous roasted peanuts and snap an iconic one-wheeled photo at the center of the universe!
