Citi Celebrates Team USA:
Rio on the Hudson
Pier 26 - Hudson River Park
This summer, Citi brings the excitement of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games to NYC with a free, week-long celebration. From August 5th – 11th at Pier 26 - Hudson River Park, you'll find everything you need to support Team USA and experience the Olympic Spirit firsthand.
Come celebrate with Team USA, keep up with the latest action and enjoy authentic Brazilian culture and entertainment throughout the week, including opportunities to see U.S. Olympians and Paralympians. If you want to get in the game, you can virtually "sprint" against track & field sensation Allyson Felix, honor golf's return to the Olympics by testing your swing in the golf simulator, and learn all about the Paralympic movement by trying out Paralympic equipment. Plus, with family friendly activities like face painting, live art demonstrations, and samba dancers, there's something for everyone.
Join us for a special kickoff on Friday, August 5th, at 7 PM, as we light the cauldron to mark the opening of the Games!
Nos vemos lá! See you there!
HAVE FUN!
