New Yorker Festival

Since 1999, New Yorker Magazine has held this annual October gathering of notable speakers and cultural icons. Last year’s festival revolved around race, technology and comedy in America, and included speakers such as Hamilton creator Lin Manuel Miranda, novelist Toni Morrison and singer Billy Joel. This year’s lineup (announced in September), will hold group panels, interviews, debates and live performances, with creatives from the realms of politics, science, fashion, fiction and film all present.
