Founded in 2017, Five Points Festival is an annual New-York based celebration of designer toys, blind boxes, independent comic artists, and more. Though the main event is held at the end of spring, a surprise Five Points pop-up shop is open on Friday October 5th and Saturday October 6th. Backed by sponsors including KidRobot and Clutter, it’s a great opportunity to get to know some of the independent artists working outside the mainstream world of New York Comic Con, and features popular vinyl toy designers like Ron English and the Outer Space Men. You can find more info here, or head straight to 815 Broadway to check it out for yourself.
