A Signature NYRP Celebration
Hulaween is NYRP’s signature fall gala, bringing together New York City’s philanthropic, creative, and civic communities in support of green space, community, and the transformative power of nature. This year, Hulaween transforms into a haunting underwater world: eerie sea creatures, sunken wonders, and oceanic legends rising through spectacular décor, festive cocktails, and unforgettable entertainment.
The evening will honor NYRP Trustees Sophie von Haselberg and Harry Guinness with the Wind Beneath My Wings Award, celebrating their leadership and unwavering commitment to NYRP’s mission. Mario Cantone will emcee the evening, guiding guests through a night of celebration and philanthropy. Guests will also enjoy live performances by:
✨ Cyndi Lauper
✨ Jessica Vosk
✨ Sydney James Harcourt
✨ Will Lee and The Root System
✨ …and more!
Fashion icons Isaac Mizrahi and Rachel Antonoff will also join Hulaween to judge our annual costume competition. House of Yes performers will bring their signature theatrical energy to the celebration, while Boyyyish will keep the party going with a live DJ set.
