The event, an evening of celebration, culture, and football, set against the stunning backdrop of Casa Cipriani Wall Street, will take place on Thursday 10 July – just three days before the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ Final, and promises to be a special moment for those in New York City and visiting for the tournament.
Designed as a celebration of football’s global popularity, the night will bring together a unique blend of worlds - from sport and entertainment to art, fashion, and business, according to Big Art Festival CEO and Founder Maxim Berin. The company – Big Art Festival – specialise in expansive gala nights at some of the most iconic locations around the world, and will bring their unique talent and style to the event.
Among the evening’s many highlights will be a headline performance by international pop sensation Rita Ora, alongside a two-hour immersive show curated by Raffaele Riccio, the Artistic Director of Big Art Festival. Guests can expect a fusion of live music, theatrical performance, and surprise moments crafted exclusively for the occasion.
