CLOSED: SLEEPY HOLLOW: A Halloween Experience
In 2024, HERO created Sleepy Hollow - a journey to the heart of an American legend at Rockefeller Center in Celebration of Halloween. Guests experienced the magic of Sleepy Hollow's autumn festival, and let the spirit of Washington Irving's timeless tale guided them through a hauntingly joyful celebration of the harvest season.
Autumn's Splendor in the Heart of the City
HERO invited guests to trade skyscrapers for pumpkin-lined paths, concrete canyons for misty hollows, and taxi horns for the echo of galloping hooves. As the leaves turned golden upstate, visitors settled in with mugs of spiced cider and joined Washington Irving as he gathered the seeds of inspiration that grew into the beloved tale of Sleepy Hollow.
An Enchanting Adventure for All Ages
Sleepy Hollow: Autumn’s Harvest offered a multisensory journey for curious minds of every age, with cutting-edge digital art that brought Sleepy Hollow to life. Each chamber blended history, folklore, and interactive play. From eerie woodlands to festive harvests, HERO continued its mission of bringing New York’s rich folklore to life, connecting visitors to the stories that have captivated generations.
