August 26:  SoundWaters HarborFest 17

Let’s go to the harbor!  HarborFest 17 is bringing Stamford to the harbor for the city’s biggest waterfront celebration in its history.  Thousands of visitors of all ages will flock to the Harbor Point Waterfront to enjoy seaside yoga, Zumba and art show, historic tours of Stamford Harbor, live music, carnival rides, dockside boat tours and of course, the Cardboard Kayak Race for the Mayor’s Trophy!  Finish the day with a fantastic fireworks show over Stamford Harbor.  HarborFest is Stamford’s celebration of the Harbor and all its sea shore amenities.  Don’t miss it.

May 5:  Fiesta de Barcos Altos (aka Tall Ships Ball)

We celebrated the 22nd annual Tall Ships Ball with a fun and colorful Cinco de Mayo theme at the beautiful Riverside Yacht Club in Greenwich.  Guests enjoyed a festive Mexican party with great food, fun drinks, lively music and plenty of interesting and compelling information about SoundWaters and our mission to protect Long Island Sound.  You can view all the photos of the event, courtesy of Aviva Maller Photography, who donated her photography services for the evening.  Thank you to all our guests, committee members and volunteers!  Stay tuned for dates for the 2018 event.  Tall Ships Ball keeps getting better with age.

July 22:  SoundWaters Flotilla

Talk about a movement to protect Long Island Sound!  This event actually moves – from Cove Island Park on Stamford’s east side to Boccuzzi Park on the west side – hundreds of people of all ages and skill levels paddling kayaks and paddle boards in a big, colorful flotilla of small boats, finishing with a great party celebrating a fun day and a job well done.  Everyone paddling is telling their friends and family and raising money to help SoundWaters teach more underserved kids about Long Island Sound.
