September 23 & October 15: Coastal Cleanups
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 catalogue everything collected before disposing of it in the appropriate manner. Coastal clean-ups are ideal for friends, families and teams.
May 4: 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 14: 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.
August 25: SoundWaters HarborFest 18
Let’s go to the harbor! HarborFest 18 is bringing Stamford to the harbor for the city’s biggest waterfront celebration in its history.
