The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) is welcoming visitors to an unforgettable night under the stars on Wednesday, July 29, as its popular Full Moon Sleepover returns with free films, activities, and wellness sessions celebrating the Buck Moon.
Now in its fourth year, the annual overnight event transforms the SNFCC Park into a vibrant open-air hot spot, where people of all ages enjoy a unique moonlit experience featuring cinema, music, games, sports and relaxation until sunrise.
Events begin after 7 p.m., with free admission.
