City of Water Day is back on Saturday, July 25, with free, family-friendly events happening on and near the water across the New York–New Jersey Harbor. This year’s theme, Living with Water: Celebrating Access to the Waterways That Connect Us, is all about experiencing the rivers, bays, creeks, canals, and shorelines that bring our communities together. With NYC Ferry’s optimized routes now in service, plus summer schedule updates and weekend connections to your favorite waterfront destinations, it’s the perfect chance to hop aboard one of the city’s most iconic forms of transportation and make a day of it by traveling between events or exploring a new waterfront neighborhood.
From kayaking, sailing, and biking to fishing, storytelling, and hands-on education, City of Water Day offers a variety of experiences to get out and explore the harbor. Plan your trip using the NYC Ferry app and the City of Water Day website, and use the guide from NYC Ferry linked below for some ferry-friendly ways to spend the day on and near the water!
