“MANY PEOPLE HAVE tried to make music festivals happen inside the five boroughs of New York over the years, with varying degrees of success. These days, Governors Ball is the one that rules them all… Since moving to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in 2023, it’s come closer than anyone to bringing an expansive, West Coast-style festival experience to the city. ”
– Rolling Stone
Community Impact and Sustainability
Gov Ball’s impact extends far beyond the music. The 2024 festival contributed an impressive $127.8 million to New York City’s economy, including $7.1 million in regional tax revenue. Through the Gov Ball Gives Back program, the festival continues to support both local and national non-profits, partnering with organizations like Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Planned Parenthood, and HeadCount.
Environmental responsibility remains a priority, with initiatives including free water stations, waste diversion, a reusable cup program, and the introduction of composting this year. The festival also contributes to park improvements, including 20,000 square feet of new sod and enhanced accessibility features.
“New York’s hottest club isn’t another Lower East Side dive with cheap drinks—it’s actually the Governor’s Ball music festival.” – Cosmopolitan
Location and Access
Flushing Meadows Corona Park, now in its third year as the festival’s home, offers convenient access for music fans across the city. Located just 30 minutes by train from anywhere in the Five Boroughs, attendees can easily reach the venue via the 7 Train or Long Island Railroad (LIRR).
“New Yorkers are well familiar with these signs of summer: beachgoers on the A train; round-the-clock firecrackers; the smell of hot trash; and Gov Ball, the annual pop bonanza that returns this weekend to Queens.”
– The New York Times
