16th Annual Domino Toppling Extravaganza

An annual spectacle and crowd favorite, the Domino Toppling Extravaganza returns to BMAC for the 16th year in a row. This year’s event will be presented both in person and via livestream. Veteran domino toppler and YouTube superstar Lily Hevesh and three other domino artists will arrive in Brattleboro 48 hours ahead of the toppling to begin setting up the spectacle. The floor will be filled with an elaborate pattern of tens of thousands of dominoes. Correctly guess how many dominoes are set up, and you could start the entire chain reaction! Watch the video of BMAC’s 2021 Domino Toppling, which featured 23,000 dominoes.
