A flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual or notable, and then disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.

The first flash mob was organized in Manhattan in May 2003, by an underground group called the "Mob Project". The first attempt was unsuccessful after the targeted retail store was tipped off about the plan for about fifty people to gather. The first successful flash mob assembled in June 3 2003 at Macy's department store. Organizers avoided such problems during the second flash mob by sending participants to preliminary staging areas—in four pre-arranged Manhattan bars—where they received further instructions about the ultimate event and location just before the event began.
