Coastal Cleanups: 2019 Dates – Coming Soon
Our coastline is one of our most precious resources and all of us must chip in to keep it pristine. SoundWaters is leading the charge, but needs everyone’s help. We host seasonal clean-up days when we will provide you with gloves and bags to walk the public shoreline and pick up human debris. We weigh and catalog everything collected before disposing of it in the appropriate manner. Coastal clean-ups are ideal for friends, families and teams.
May 3: SoundWaters Tall Ships Ball – Yacht Rock
Everyone’s a captain at the Tall Ships Ball. Come aboard as SoundWaters sails the smooth seas of Yacht Rock. Enjoy an evening of delicious food, brightly colored drinks and the music that defined an era. All in support of Long Island Sound education for all kids.

July 13: 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.
