Harbor Day September 12, 2009

Festivities span six major waterfront sites - The Battery, Battery Park City, Hudson River Park, Governors Island, Brooklyn Bridge Park and Snug Harbor - all linked by free rental bikes and hop-on/hop-off boat service. At each site, food, drink, entertainment and activities will commemorate this special moment in New York City history. Highlights include: a flotilla of modern and historic Dutch and American yachts and sailing vessels, an Oyster Festival, 'Harmony on the Hudson' - a family music festival, children's bike clinics at Brooklyn Bridge Plaza, Brooklyn Flea under the Manhattan Archway, kayaking, paddle boating, and much more. Spectators will be able to watch the events on the water on a giant video screen in the Battery, from stands seating between 7,000 and 10,000 viewers.
