Daybreaker ALIVE Festival

About this event

Daybreaker brings its first sunrise-to-sunset ALIVE festival to Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 3 on Saturday, September 26, 2026, and admission is free. The day runs 6 AM to 8 PM on the East River waterfront and is built as one continuous guided experience rather than a lineup of back-to-back sets: morning and evening movement, live music, dance, sound baths, breathwork, guided walks and runs, improv, interactive art, circus performances, sauna and cold plunge, plus kids' activities under Daybreaker's all-ages INTERGEN programming. This is an alcohol-free event, so the draw is dancing and community rather than a bar. Organizers expect 3,000-plus people and note that entry is first come, first served unless you hold guaranteed access; RSVPs are encouraged but not required. Bring layers for a chilly sunrise, a blanket or low chair for the Pier 3 lawn, and a yoga mat if you plan to join a movement session. A food village is on site all day and outside snacks are welcome. Pier 3 is a short walk from the York St F or High St A/C, or take the NYC Ferry to DUMBO.
