Citi Celebrates Team USA: Rio on the Hudson - Free Fun Activities!

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!

What is Red Nose Day?

Red Nose Day is a fundraising event organized by Comic Relief which originated in the U.K. On Red Nose Day everyone is encouraged to cast inhibitions aside, put on a Red Nose and fundraise – celebrities included!

In the U.K., Red Nose Day has been going for 30 years and is an inspiring cultural phenomenon that unites people from all walks of life in the interest of saving and changing lives across the globe. Red Nose Day has raised more than $1 billion in charitable donations so far.

For the first time ever, Red Nose Day will be celebrated in the United States this year with a 3-hour live entertainment TV Special, hosted by NBC. The TV Special and the accompanying pre-promotional campaign will be modeled on the successful BritishRed Nose Day events run by Comic Relief UK over the last 30 years. The TV Special will showcase top comedy and entertainment. It will also highlight the causes for which Red Nose Day is fundraising. Viewers will be encouraged to make donations by phone, and online. 

Walgreens and Duane Reade stores across the nation are the exclusive Red Nose Day retail partner.
