We are required to follow the rules laid out by NYC and NYS, in order to keep all of our vendors and attendees safe.

As of August 17, 2021, people 12 and older are required to show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use by the FDA or WHO for:

• Indoor entertainment
  • Includes movie theaters, music and concert venues, museums, aquariums and zoos, professional sports arenas, indoor stadiums, convention centers, exhibition halls, performing arts theaters, bowling alleys, arcades, pool and billiard halls, recreational game centers, adult entertainment and indoor play areas

This new requirement — called the Key to NYC — also means staff at these locations must be vaccinated.

You can rest assured that we will be checking the status of all vendors and staff prior to the event. Attendees must show proof to enter the building. Thank you for your co-operation.

We’re building a marketplace inspired by one of New York’s most storied neighborhoods – the Five Points of Old New York. Five Points was an area of 19th century Lower Manhattan between Centre Street to the West, Bowery to the East, Canal Street to the North, and Park Row to the South – an area very close to where the Five Points Festival took place in its first year.

While the physical Five Points of old is long gone, we know the independent spirit of historic Five Point is still alive in the rebel artists of today, and the Five Points Festival welcomes them home.

Yes, tickets are needed to attend the Five Points Festival and can be purchased online. Tickets are available Saturday, Sunday, Weekend and VIP  flavors. Want to go to the Designer Toy Awards? Grab a VIP Pass to party with the biggest names in Designer Toys.

Absolutely. We LOVE a good costume!! Cosplay is a huge part of convention culture, and we’re not looking to limit your creativity, but please note that costumes must be appropriate to wear in public – if you can’t wear it on the streets of New York City, you can’t wear it at Five Points Fest.

• Don’t wear anything that’s sharp, pointy, or could hurt another attendee
• Don’t be a jerk!
• Prop firearms are NOT allowed.
• Prop bows will be allowed providing all arrows have soft tips and will not be shot
• No metal weapons, sharp weapons, blunt weapons, cap guns, airsoft guns, BB guns, or vuvuzelas at all.

Five Points is an open celebration of art and its creators, and harassment of any kind is the opposite of the community we want to be. Five Points is committed to fostering an atmosphere where attendees can count on a safe, inclusive, and rewarding experience – with zero tolerance for harassment, groping, stalking, and inappropriate photography. Harassment includes, but isn’t limited to, verbal defamation based on gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion; deliberate intimidation; following or stalking; forceful photography or recording; sustained disruptions; and non-consensual physical contact or sexual attention. Harassment of any kind is unwelcome at Five Points and will not be tolerated.
