City of Water Day is a region-wide day of free, family-friendly events on or near the water sponsored by the Waterfront Alliance and NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program. Now in its 17th year, this event serves to champion a climate-resilient New York and New Jersey Harbor. In Hoboken, the Fund for a Better Waterfront, Resilience Adventures, the Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse, Ke Aloha Outriggers and the Hudson River Fishermen’s Association will provide a full day of activities, most located at Maxwell Place Park near 11th Street in Hoboken.
Just some minor changes to the schedule due to the rain this morning.
