City of Water Day 2023

City of Water Day Event Details:

City of Water Day is a day of free, family-friendly activities in New York and New Jersey! Several organizations in New Jersey and across the five boroughs of NYC will host events on and near the water that celebrate the importance of a resilient and equitably shared waterfront. From free boat tours to hands-on workshops, these events offer community members opportunities for fun, education, and access to their local waterfront. Check out the map of events at cityofwaterday.org/eventsmap for more details!

This Year’s Theme

This year’s theme is to expand the capacity of New York and New Jersey communities to address climate change— in particular communities that are disadvantaged or underserved. City of Water Day will feature stewardship organizations that are raising awareness about the risk we all face from sea level rise and climate change, and explore ways we can build the adaptive capacity of our ecosystems and communities.

By engaging the public in the benefits of habitat restoration, water infrastructure, green infrastructure, stormwater management, and other efforts that prioritize climate resilient solutions, we are collectively creating a more resilient New York and New Jersey harbor. And like every year, we are eager to work with our partners in neighborhoods across the estuary to uplift work that advances equitable access to the waterfront and educates the next generation of climate leaders.
