As a final celebration of Iván Argote’s High Line Plinth commission Dinosaur, the High Line Park presents Farewell, Dinosaur on March 21, 2026, between the hours of 12 p.m. and -4 p.m., a festive send-off offering visitors fun pigeon-themed activities and a memorable opportunity to say goodbye before the artwork departs in early April. Visitors are invited to come dressed up, bring their pigeon-loving friends, and pose for a professional photograph at the foot of the sculpture to mark the occasion.
The afternoon will feature a live set by DJ Tommy Sparks alongside a lively lineup of activities throughout the Spur, including family workshops and pigeon-themed trivia. Miriam Abrahams, winner of Pigeon Fest’s pigeon impersonation pageant, returns to host bingo, with special prizes. Dinosaur artist Iván Argote will also be on hand to sign limited-edition posters from the High Line Shop’s pop-up, with other Dinosaur-themed merch also available for purchase.
Visitors that register on thehighline.org by Monday, March 16, 2026, will also receive a chance at winning an exclusive, up-close-and-personal experience with Dinosaur on the day of the program between the hours of 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Invitations to the special experience will be sent to randomly selected registrants on Tuesday, March 17, 2026. Participation will need to be confirmed within 48 hours or the invitation will be forfeited to another randomly selected registrant.
Enter the High Line Park at the NW corner of 30th Street and 10th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001.
