When Red Bull asked us to create a special-edition magazine for their upcoming Culture Clash, a competition between the NYC parades — the National Puerto Rican Parade, West Indian Parade, Lunar New Year, and Pride March — the answer was simple. Yes. As lovers of New York culture, this is our Olympics.
Red Bull’s Culture Clash epitomizes what makes New York the best city in the world. Without coexisting cultures, we are nothing. This particular event takes two of New York’s most iconic events — parades and concerts — to create one big gathering. Culture Clash is actually an exercise in bringing people, traditions, and heritages together.
Our new mini zine for Red Bull shares stories behind these legendary parades and cultural insights from our favorite New Yorkers. Taking inspiration from the four rounds of the competition — Temperature’s Rising, The Roots, New York, NY, and The Decider, we reinterpreted each round through Byline’s editorial lens. It’s the essence of New York today encapsulated into eight pages, a snapshot of this city’s culture memorialized.
Find our Culture Clash magazine at McNally Jackson in SoHo and Williamsburg, Soho News, Casa Magazines, Pop Up Grocer, Airmail Newsstand, The Book Marc, Iconic Magazines, Dimes, Dimes Market, Cafe Forgot, Casetta, Karma Book Store, Homecoming, Hudson Wilder, Powerhouse Arena, Ace Hotel Brooklyn, and at our newspaper boxes at Canal & Essex and outside of Five Leaves.
