In Plain Sight: The Secret City Experience - A Between-The-Seasons Festival

In Plain Sight: The Secret City Experience - A Between-The-Seasons Festival

Date: Freb 27, 28 and March 1

Location: 271 W 119th St - but look closely for the portal cues and signs

By now, you’ve probably heard whispers of Secret City—or maybe you’ve even wandered its winding paths through our online portal last season.

But every so often, Secret City opens its gates even wider, inviting visitors from the So-Called Real Life (that’s you) to step inside in person and experience its wonders firsthand.

The stories. The secrets. The games. Secret foods and labyrinths. Music and dance. Art and storytelling—all shared in a beautifully supportive and all-inclusive tapestry of styles, ages, beliefs, and tastes.

So today, we are here to

.....the drumroll ...

Announce one such occurrance
At the end of winter and the dawn of spring, Secret City will welcome you back once more!

Mark your calendars:
February 27, 28, or March 1 (and maybe even a mysterious fourth day... shhh!)
Gates open at 7 PM.
Refreshments, citizens, and play await you.

If you’d like to join us, here’s how to prepare:

• Choose your date(s) carefully. We recommend all three (or four 😉).
• Decide your level key (in SCRL, they call it a 'ticket') for entering the secretness.
• In the days leading up to your visit, practice shedding greed, envy, fear, and judgment. Instead, welcome curiosity, child-like openness, a playful spirit, and joy.
• Spread the word (because secrets in Secret City aren’t meant to stay hidden forever—they long to reveal themselves. Are you reasy to take them?).
• Think of a one biggest question for Secret Siri? She’s listening.
• Be ready to be surprised, stunned, and transformed.

If finding your best self and coming truly alive sounds like the adventure you’ve been waiting for, Secret City will welcome you with open arms.

But wait—who’s “we,” you ask?

• Your Mayor May
• The Masters of Gluestruction
• The Visualist and Official Media Liaison

• Hot Glue and the Gun and their guests (slow-release information)
• A special movement, visual, and voice interpreter (name classified 😉)

• The Dragon
• The Bubble Man (our Original Citizen)
• The Lambrusco Lounge and Chappell’s Pink Pony Club
• Evelyn the City Angel
• And many more…

The complete list of collaborators? That’s a secret—slow-revealed to those who return daily for new clues.

With great anticipation and a wink,
Your Mayor May
