Over Columbus Day weekend, over 1,200 Jewish teens came together for an amazing night at Adventureland in Long Island, New York. All of the New York regions, Hudson Valley, Manhattan, Big Apple, and Nassau Suffolk, kicked off the 2018-2019 programming year together on rides, playing games, and eating food! BBYO reserved the entire park for the night so all of the teens could come together with their sisters and brothers from around New York.

All around the theme park, BBYO signs and posters were hung everywhere—on rides, on platforms, on video screens, and even in the food court. Throughout the night, there were many different dance parties as well as an ISF awareness fundraiser where the teens were able to donate and receive vintage BBYO clothing.

This night set the tone for the year for all of BBYO in New York. With over 1,000 Jewish teens in attendance, the four regions motivated everyone to make this year our best one yet.
