We’re giving away a pair of two-day OZY Fest tickets

We’ll notify the lucky winner by email. The submission deadline is noon July 16. If you’re having trouble viewing the entry form, visit amny.com/OZYFest.

OZY Fest has been branded as “New York City’s answer to SXSW,” meaning it aims to combine the experiences of a food hall, TED talk, musical festival and more into a two-day affair. Rounding out the “food” portion of that list are celebrity chefs Rachael Ray, Padma Lakshmi ("Top Chef") and Marcus Samuelsson ("Chopped"). Politicians Stacey Abrams and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich join “thought leaders” Spike Lee ("BlacKkKlansman") and Mark Cuban ("Shark Tank") to ensure the event packs in social and political issues. Trevor Noah, Dulcé Sloan and Ronny Chieng will handle the comedy. See the full lineup at OZY.com.

OZY Fest CEO Carlos Watson told amNewYork ahead of last year’s fest his goal is always to redefine what one might expect from an NYC festival experience. “One of my favorite quotes is, after OZY Fest, someone wrote online, ‘I came to this thing called OZY Fest expecting to have my mind blown and instead I had my mind grown,’” Watson said.

If you’re not feeling lucky enough to win your way in, consider purchasing tickets online. Saturday and Sunday tickets are still available. A two-day pass starts at $119.
