Coastal Cleanups – Spring 2020: Postponed – New Dates – TBD
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 cleanups are ideal for friends, families and teams.
SoundWaters Tall Ships Ball – Roaring into the 20’s
Make your way to the Schooner Club and go roaring into the 20’s with SoundWaters. Expect only the finest fools and dancin’ music and, despite the prohibitionists, the liquor is flowin’ freely. We’re kickin’ off the 20’s with the party of the decade. All in support of Long Island Sound education for all kids.
SoundWaters Flotilla – July 18, 2020
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.
