A project of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance

Saturday, July 12, 2014

Governors Island, NYC

City of Water Day is the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance’s way to
bring together everything about the water that is exciting and fun, from
port commerce to environmental education to active recreation.
The event is a celebration of the potential of the waterfront.
Find out more about MWA, City of Water Day, and other related
information through the links below.

Even though City of Water Day is free, it requires donated time, money, and
supplies from generous individuals and organizations.

Individuals can volunteer at City of Water Day,
 click here for more information on volunteering.
Individuals are also encouraged to make a donation to
the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance to help us cover expenses -
a suggested donation amount would be the ticket price you'd expect
to pay at an event this great!
