NYC Waterfalls official dates: June 26 to Oct. 13
June 26 is the official opening date for artist Olafur Eliasson's four NYC Waterfalls.
And there's now an official end date: October 13.
When first announced, the dates of the project were an elusive "mid-July to mid-October" but at the opening of his current MoMA exhibition, he let slip that he was hoping to get the waterfalls running by the end of June.
The four giant waterfalls in the East River will be the city's biggest public art project since Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s "The Gates" consumed Central Park in the winter of 2005.
The 90- to 120-foot waterfalls will flow from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day -- and will be lit after sunset.
