City of Water Day Festival

What: Harbor education is a big focus at many of the island's events this year, and it all culminates in the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance's City of Water Day Festival. Of course, the best way to learn about the city's water is to get out on it, by either taking a free boat tour or joining a flotilla of kayakers, canoes paddlers, and sailors. But there are activities for landlubbers as well, including waterfront fishing, watershed demonstrations, and a critter touch tank for kids, plus food vendors and live music. Events also take place across the harbor at Liberty State Park in New Jersey.
When: July 20  |  10am - 4pm
Where: Governor's Island
