SUNDAY OCTOBER 19th - World's Fair Scavenger Hunt

World's Fair Scavenger Hunt

  

On Sunday, October 19th, on the closing day of the World’s Fair Anniversary Celebrations, the World’s Fair Anniversary Committee will be holding a special FREE EVENT: a World’s Fair Scavenger Hunt throughout Flushing Meadows Corona Park. 

Participants can compete in teams of 2-6 people. At registration, team members will be given t-shirts, and each team will be given a totebag and a list of clues with a map of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The clues will test participants’ knowledge of both World’s Fairs and the Park as it is now, directing the teams to various cultural institutions and monuments throughout and around Flushing Meadows Corona Park. At each location, they will be given a token , have to answer a question, or take a photo to prove that they were there. At 5:30pm, the teams will return to Queens Theatre. The team that will have collected the most tokens will be the winner of the World’s Fair Scavenger Hunt and will win great prizes. The top runners up will receive prizes as well. At 6:00pm, there will be a free concert in the Park by Yesterday and Today: A Tribute to the Beatles. Winners will be announced from the stage at intermission.
