About this Event

Join Fort Tryon Park Conservancy for the inaugural Margaret Corbin Day—an evening of history, reflection, and creative storytelling in one of New York City’s most beautiful parks.

Friday, May 1st | 5:30–7:00 PM

The evening begins at 5:30 PM with a welcome and guided tour, starting at the Margaret Corbin Plaza entrance to the park.

From 6:00–7:00 PM, gather for an engaging Uptown Stories reading and creative workshop. Through storytelling and reflection, participants will explore themes of bravery, resilience, and choice.

Q: What would you have done if you were Margaret?
Step into history, share your voice, and imagine the courage it takes to stand your ground.

This free community event invites all ages to connect with the past while creating something meaningful for the present.

Come celebrate a local hero and be part of a new Fort Tryon Park tradition!
