The 8th annual Jamaica Bay Festival occurs on July 12, celebrating City of Water Day with free activities across Brooklyn and Queens. Organized by the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, the event focuses on the importance of Jamaica Bay's 10,000 acres of parkland. Participants can engage in activities such as kayaking, yoga, and nature walks, designed to raise awareness of the bay's ecological significance. The festival also features partnerships with local organizations, offering music, art exhibitions, and educational programs that highlight the area's diverse environments and community involvement.
"The Jamaica Bay Festival provides a powerful platform to celebrate our shoreline, highlight community partnerships, and engage New Yorkers in the care and stewardship of their local environment."
"Jamaica Bay is one of the most ecologically productive and culturally rich parts of New York City, and we're thrilled to invite neighbors and visitors to experience all it has to offer."
