Celebrate summer at the annual, free Randall’s Island Waterfront Festival! At the peak of summer, we’re bringing you a family-friendly, interactive day of fun centering water as a natural and refreshing resource. Experience the joy of summer, the excitement of science, and connection of community.
We’ll have water-themed everything including games, crafts, snacks, face paint, and live performances, set against the confluence of the Harlem and East Rivers and the city skyline. We hope you’ll join us to celebrate our appreciation for the water that surrounds and nourishes us as well as our relationship with one another.
There will be a free bike valet for the duration of the festival provided by Transportation Alternatives by the East River Picnic Area. Please check in your bikes with Transportation Alternatives staff at the festival!
