Directions
Getting to Governors Island is just a quick, 5-minute boat ride away. The event will be accessible via New York Water Taxi. The Water Taxi's will leave every hour from Pier 11, located at the corner of South Street & Wall Street, approximately 4 blocks south of the South Street Seaport. The first ferry will leave at 4pm and every 15 minutes thereafter. Additional pickup locations may be added. There is no parking at the terminal itself, however there are ample lots in the area.

The Venue
Bigger, you say? Different? How about this: A 176-acre former military outpost, off-limits to the public for 200 years. Smack between Wall Street and Brooklyn, Governor’s Island is a landmark, a national park, and uncharted territory for electronic music and its fans. The massive space is the focus of a slew of development initiatives, including ones to bring art and music to its shores. New York bought it from the national government in 2003 for a measly $1: Be there when Black & White makes it's mark in NYC.

The VIP Pass includes Admission to both days of the festival and includes admission do both days of afterparties. Round-trip ferry transportation is included with ticket, and other special amenities.
