City of Water Day

A group of people getting into a canoe on a river while others wait on the pier. A canoe and two kayaks are sitting on the pier, ready to go into the water.

Join us and the Waterfront Alliance in celebrating our city's beautiful waterfront parks at the annual City of Water Day this Saturday, July 16. Take a boat out on the water, help clean up our city's shorelines, head to a festival, and more! For a full list of City of Water Day events, please visit the Waterfront Alliance's website.
