Cost: Free
For all ages
Kick off the season at Governors Island Alliance’s seventh annual Family Festival on opening weekend—from noon to 4 on Saturday, May 28. The Alliance has lined up bands, clowns, theatrical performers, hula hoops and games, puppetcraft, an “interactive” map of New York Harbor and lots more free stuff. Nolan Park is the main stage; some happenings will happen at the Harbor Map by Yankee Pier.
The Children's Museum of the Arts joins the festival this year with its own Island-themed projects.
Schedules will be available at the Alliance information tents when you arrive at Soissons Dock and Pier 101.
The festival is funded by the J.M. Kaplan Fund and the Alliance's own supporters. The Deutsche Bank America's Foundation underwrites our volunteer program and, yes, we need volunteers.
About GIA:
The Governors Island Alliance is a coalition of organizations and individuals working to celebrate the Island's rich history, create memorable parks and public spaces, and ensure appropriate reuse of the Island and its historic structures.
