Five Points Festival is New York’s premier designer toy and indie art convention, returning June 7-8, 2025, in Beacon, NY! This year, we’re celebrating the artists, creators, and rebels at the heart of the art toy and independent art scenes. From underground culture to comics, vinyl records, street art, bones, and beyond—we want YOU to be part of it!
If accepted, you’ll be notified by May 7 (or sooner), and payment will be required to secure your space. You won’t be charged unless you’re accepted.
No longer confined by convention center rules, we’re bringing the festival experience to life in bold new ways. Think late-night hangs, bonfires, and an atmosphere that’s as wild as your imagination. Bring your most creative, outside-the-box ideas—let’s make this unforgettable.
☀️ Rain or Shine! We’re an all-weather event, so dress for the forecast—and don’t forget sunscreen!

The Five Points Festival welcomes press outlets from across NYC and around the world and is happy to provide approved members of the media with a complimentary Press Pass. Before you apply, please understand…
Your Press Pass Has Rules
Your Press Pass allows complimentary access during all public hours as well as during each morning’s VIP Preview.
Your Press Pass does NOT allow early access or special access. Your Press Pass does NOT allow you to cut lines. Your Press Pass does NOT guarantee you exclusives.
Press Passes Are For Journalists & Podcasters Only
Press Registration is open to journalists making regular editorial contributions only. Editorial Press includes Writers, Reporters, Reviewers, Producers, Photographers, and Cameramen who are attending specifically to write about Five Points. Non-Editorial personnel at media companies such as Marketing and Sales staff do not qualify for Press Passes and will not be approved.
Your Press Pass Is Yours
Press Passes are non-transferable. You may not loan or sell your Press Pass, and anyone conducting such behavior will be disqualified from Press Passes at future Five Points events.
Apply Once Per Organization
Please only have one member of your media outlet apply for badges – they can apply for your full team. This person should be your organization’s main contact, and they will be responsible for picking up all of your badges onsite.
Please Don’t Waste Both Our Time
Please don’t apply if you’re trying to scam a badge. If you’ve got a website that hasn’t been updated in six months, a blog that exists only to post your convention reviews or a YouTube channel with two views, you’re not going to be approved.
Application
After reading this page, please click through to the form which follows. Complete this form in its entirety. After Five Points receives your application, our Press team will respond within the dates listed below. Please understand that simply submitting does not guarantee you a Press Pass.
