Saturday, May 26, 2012 from 12:00 noon to 4:00pm

Governors Island Alliance is kicking off another exciting season on the Island with the 8th annual opening-day Family Festival on Saturday. Come to Nolan Park for music, theater, dance, arts and crafts, face painting, maritime activities and more. Performances will run throughout the afternoon featuring Astrograss, the Maybelles, Arm of the Sea Theater and the Quantico Marine Corps Band.


Cost: Free
For all ages

Representatives of the city Department of Transportation will also be on hand for free bike helmet fitting--and giving away helmets while supplies last and demonstrating their new bike share station.

Performances will run throughout the day featuring the following performances:

Astrograss: This high energy band gets kids and their parents dancing and singing together, with a unique blend of bluegrass, old time, and folk music. Astrograss concerts feature sing-a-longs, dance contests, and fiddle hoedowns. Their original songs cover topics like spelling, whether Pluto is a planet, bedtime, and the many neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

The Maybelles: This harmony driven Americana band led by Jan Bell, is accompanied by Rima Fand and Megan Palmer. With Celtic and Appalachian influences, the band has made the Top Ten Folk Albums (Village Voice), 4 Stars (Now Toronto), and People’s Choice Album of the year (Independent Music Awards).

Arm of the Sea Theater: For over twenty years, Arm of the Sea Theater has been developing a style of magical realism that marries the mythic and the everyday, humanity and the earth, visual arts and natural science, poetry and politics. Their large-scale productions incorporate ancient theatrical devices for shared enchantment and visual storytelling. With music, gesture and stunning visuals, they illuminate the links between human communities and the life-support processes of this living planet.

The event and the ferry to the island are FREE and no pre-registration is required! Bring a picnic lunch and come join us for a fun afternoon on the Island!

This event is made possible by the generous support of Council Woman Margaret Chin, the JM Kaplan Fund and REI Inc. The Governors Island Alliance volunteer program is sponsored by Deutsche Bank.

VY Higginsen’s Teen Choir
Vy Higginsen formed her Teen Choir in 2006 as a program of The Mama Foundation for the Arts, a not-for-profit organization. The choir’s mission is to “save the music” by teaching youth between the ages of 13 and 19 the art of R&B and jazz, as well as to acknowledge the contributions that African-American music makes to American culture. The program helps replace the music education taken out of many inner city schools, acknowledging and supporting the city’s musically gifted children.

TD Five Boro Bike Tour 
Sunday, May 6, 2012

In the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, approximately 32,000 cyclists pedal their way through all five boroughs on a traffic-free, 40-mile course. As its name suggests, the event is a tour, not a race—so participants can relax and enjoy one of the best ways to see the City. Alas, the tour is so popular (it's the largest bike event in North America) that a lottery was implemented to fill spots during registration this year. You can still enter, though, as a VIP or by committing to raise money for one of the Tour's charity partners. And, of course, you can always attend the event as a spectator.
