May 4: Tall Ships Ball
Come aboard as SoundWaters sets a course for the South Pacific for our 23rd Tall Ships Ball at Riverside Yacht Club in Greenwich, where guests will enjoy the bright colors, island music, exotic foods and the exciting cultural traditions of Polynesia. Think surfing, tiki bars, palm trees and pineapples. The perfect start to the summer season.
Fun? We’ll have shiploads of it. Just view all the photos of the 2017 event.
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. Thousands of visitors of all ages will flock to the Harbor Point Waterfront to enjoy, historic tours of Stamford Harbor, mini golf, kids boat building, marine animals, dockside boat tours and of course, the Aquarion 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.
Coastal Cleanups: April 21
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.
