NEW YORK – (March 24, 2026) – Tribeca Enterprises and New York Magazine’s Vulture today announced a new partnership that will bring Vulture Festival back to New York City as part of the 25th Tribeca Festival, launching a new cultural hub titled Vulture Festival at Tribeca Festival. The 2026 Tribeca Festival is presented by OKX.

Debuting during the 2026 Tribeca Festival, Vulture Festival at Tribeca Festival will serve as a destination for marquee conversations, reunions, screenings, and live experiences celebrating the creators, performances, and fandoms shaping film, television, comedy, and pop culture today.

The collaboration marks Vulture Festival’s return to New York for the first time since 2019, bringing the celebrated pop-culture event back to its roots in downtown Manhattan just as the Tribeca Festival celebrates its historic 25th anniversary. Together, the two New York institutions will create a dynamic space where artists, audiences, and cultural conversation collide, pairing Tribeca’s platform for groundbreaking storytelling with Vulture’s signature fan-driven programming and editorial voice.

Vulture Festival at Tribeca Festival will take place within the 2026 Tribeca Festival, which runs June 3–14, 2026 across New York City. Attendees can access events with Tribeca Festival passes or individual tickets. Full programming details will be announced at a later date.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Vulture Festival to Tribeca this year, bringing together two New York cultural institutions and their distinct sensibilities to entertain and engage audiences through an unparalleled live experience,” said Rebecca Glashow, CEO of Tribeca Enterprises.

“Tribeca has always been a place for discovery, where the artists and storytellers shaping culture meet the audiences eager to experience what’s next,” said Cara Cusumano, Festival Director and SVP of Programming at the Tribeca Festival. “As longtime fans of Vulture Festival and the incredible energy it brings to celebrating film, television, and pop culture, we’re thrilled to welcome them into the Tribeca Festival for our 25th anniversary and create an exciting new hub for fans and creators to connect.”

"Vulture Festival has always been about bringing the Vulture spirit to life and connecting our readers with the entertainers whose work they love," said Neil Janowitz, Editor-in-Chief of Vulture. "We've very much missed hosting the event in New York and are grateful for the opportunity to partner with our longtime friends at Tribeca for its 25th anniversary to create an unforgettable cultural experience.”

The milestone 25th Tribeca Festival will celebrate the Festival’s legacy as a champion of independent voices and its ongoing role shaping the future of storytelling across film, television, music, podcasts, games, immersive experiences, and more. Since its founding, Tribeca has served as a launchpad for visionary filmmakers and artists, premiering early works from creators who would go on to redefine modern storytelling. This year, the Festival honors its vibrant alumni community, including Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, TF ‘09), Jon M. Chu (When the Kids Are Away, TF ‘02; In The Heights, TF ‘21), Ryan Coogler (Locks, TF ‘09), Nia DaCosta (Little Woods, TF ‘18), the Daniels (Possibilia, TF ‘14), David Gelb (King of Central Park, TF ‘06; Chef’s Table, TF ‘15), Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, TF ‘07), Domee Shi (Bao, TF ‘18), and many more whose journeys reflect Tribeca’s enduring role in discovering, championing, and amplifying the voices that shape culture.

About the Tribeca Festival
The Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, brings artists and diverse audiences together to celebrate storytelling in all its forms, including film, TV, music, audio storytelling, games, and immersive. With strong roots in independent film, Tribeca is synonymous with creative expression and entertainment. Tribeca champions emerging and established voices, discovers award-winning talent, curates innovative experiences, and introduces new ideas through exclusive premieres, exhibitions, conversations, and live performances.

The Festival was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2001 to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan following the attacks on the World Trade Center. The annual Tribeca Festival will celebrate its 25th year from June 3–14, 2026 in New York City.

In 2019, James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems bought a majority stake in Tribeca Enterprises, bringing together Rosenthal, De Niro, and Murdoch to grow the enterprise.

About Vulture
Vulture was founded in 2007 as an entertainment-and-culture outlet of New York providing an authentic, relatable experience for pop-culture fans — which is to say, caring disproportionately about great (and not great) entertainment and the people who create it. Launched with a focus on TV recaps and general Hollywood news, the site has grown into a destination where visitors can find comprehensive coverage of TV, movies, music, art, books, theater, comedy, and podcasts, among other media and pursuits, all delivered with wit, insight, criticism, and the appropriate amount of appreciation.
