The Figment festival is set to take over Governors Island for its 3rd consecutive year this coming June. Last year David Koren, the festival's organizer, had discussed with us the City of Dreams 9-hole minigolf course designed by a team of artists (photos of full course can be found here), and now the good word is that it will return!
