Last year was the first ever SI Swimsuit Issue Fan Festival which had events taking place in New York City and Nashville.

This year the event is back for a second time as they celebrate the release of the 2016 issue with Fan Festivals in New York City and Miami from February 15-18. 

The SI Swimsuit Issue Fan Festival will include appearances by models from the issue, autograph sessions, giveaways, live music, interviews and more.

Let’s take a look at each event:

New York City– SwimCity February 15 & 16 from 11am to 5pm

• The event takes place at The Altman Building (135 West 18 St. between 6 & 7 Ave)
• From SI, “See SI Swimsuit come to life through interactive games, sponsored showcases and model appearances. Be sure to bring your copy of the 2016 SI Swimsuit issue or buy one on site to have it autographed by your favorite girls.”
• Cost: Free

Miami- SwimBeach February 17 & 18 from 11a, to 5pm

• Head over to Lummus Park in South Beach (enter at 8th & Ocean)
• From SI, “Two days of fan events and musical performances in celebration of the launch of SI Swimsuit 2016. Be sure to bring your copy of this year’s magazine or buy one on site to have it autographed by your favorite model“.

I’m actually thinking of stopping by the NYC festival one of the days since I am off of work and Lucas has no school this week. Is anyone else planning to go?
