City of Water Day is a region-wide day of free, family-friendly events on or near the water!

Now in its 17th year, City of Water Day — taking place this year on Saturday, July 13 — is a  region-wide day organized by Waterfront Alliance and New York–New Jersey Harbor & Estuary Program (HEP), to champion a climate-resilient New York and New Jersey harbor.

Dozens of communities across all five boroughs of New York City, Westchester and Rockland counties, and New Jersey will host events on and near the water that celebrate the importance of a resilient and equitably shared waterfront. From free kayaking to rowing to hands-on workshops, these events offer community members opportunities for fun, education, and access to their local waterfront.

See below for the full schedule, including sailing, kayaking, activities, walks, tours and more!
