Wikipedia:Wiki World's Fair/2012

Governors Island is just awesome.
You'll get a bunch of these to build your Wiki-Pavilion on site.

The Wiki World's Fair / Free Culture Festival was held on Governors Island in beautiful New York Harbor on Saturday July 7 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.
