This Year’s Cultural Highlight: Dorit Levinstein

Park Avenue Day 2026 also marks the unveiling of new sculptures by acclaimed artist Dorit Levinstein, installed along the Park Avenue Malls. Known for her vibrant, sinuous figures that blur the line between painting and sculpture, Levinstein will be on hand throughout the day to lead tours and engage with festivalgoers.

🎀 Official Ribbon Cutting: 2:00 PM at 38th Street and Park Avenue

It promises to be one of the day’s most memorable moments — and a perfect chance to see the work up close with the artist herself.

Spot the Spot: Park Avenue Day on Curb TaxiTV

If you’ve been in a yellow cab lately, you may have already seen Park Avenue Day pop up on the screen. Our 30-second Curb TaxiTV spot is rolling on Curb-equipped taxis citywide throughout the lead-up to the festival, putting Murray Hill in front of New Yorkers across all five boroughs.

A heartfelt thank you to Curb for partnering with the Murray Hill Neighborhood Association for the second year in a row — your support helps bring Park Avenue Day to all of New York City.

Banners Up Around the Neighborhood

Keep an eye out as you walk through Murray Hill — Park Avenue Day banners are now up along Park Avenue, around St. Vartan’s Park, and throughout the neighborhood. Consider it your daily reminder that the big day is almost here.
