As we continue to live with COVID-19, the health and safety of our communities remain our most important goal. City of Water Day events this year will continue to ensure the safety of all participants by adhering to all applicable public health guidelines relating to COVID-19.


Join us on Saturday, July 16 in celebrating the resilience of our NY-NJ Harbor!
Now in its 15th year, City of Water Day, is a free region-wide day organized by the Waterfront Alliance, the NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program, and other great partners to raise awareness about the dangers we all face from sea level rise and climate change, and to advocate for a climate resilient New York and New Jersey harbor.
The climate is changing, and so must we. City of Water Day aims to educate and inspire action to meet this challenge.
