Republicans will be hosting an event in NYC that some local folks would like to protest. NYYRC 108th Annual Gala with Sarah Palin & James O'Keefe How can we find the location?

The eventbrite page does not include a location, and tickets are sold out. How can we find out where the event is happening?

Rumor has it it's at the Caldwell Factory, and Gavin Wax doesn't seem to be claiming otherwise when called on it: https://twitter.com/GavinWax/status/1333855655762014208?s=20

Please be careful.

This press release from October says that it will be held at The Caldwell Factory. I suppose the location could have changed, but you could always sort of sleuth around a little, call the venue something like "I'm planning to attend the Sarah Palin event on Thursday and I needed to know .... [whatever you can think of that works] ... about the venue." Best place to park? Accommodations for service animals? Photography policy?

Some cache results suggest Landmark in the Park or am I mistaken and it’s Caldwell? Try running it through Google with that though.

Response by poster: We think Caldwell cancelled and we are trying to find the new location.

at a minimum did you sign up for the waitlist for the sold out tickets (in case they offered you one that way)

You could click this link on the club's own website (it's a description of the event) and agree to receive notifications plus updates regarding club happenings.

(After reading yesterday's Daily Beast article, I believe that OP is correct to infer that the Caldwell Factory is no longer the site.)

It looks like Palin isn't a special guest after all.

Update: Landmark in the Park says they are not the venue. This article has more on the search for the secret location.

Response by poster: I guess the reason we couldn't find the NYC location for their event is because they ended up fleeing the city and holding their gala in New Jersey tonight.
