World Ocean Celebration: Beach Activation

June 6 @ 7:30 am - 12:00 pm

Dive into a morning of ocean celebration and community connection! Join us on the beach at 81st Street for a robust lineup of family-friendly activities designed to inspire a deeper appreciation for our blue planet. Whether you’re learning to swim or taking on the 1-mile swim, flowing through beachside yoga or participating in the ceremonial paddle-out, there’s something for everyone. Beyond the waves, engage in hands-on conservation efforts like a beach cleanup or explore immersive art installations and live performances that highlight the intersection of creativity and environmental stewardship. This event is more than just a day at the beach—it’s a powerful statement of our collective commitment to ocean conservation, fostering connections between art, community, and the natural world.
