Free Concert, Membership Drive, and Networking Event

Noon to Midnight at the "Frying Pan" - Pier 66
at West 26th Street on the Hudson River

New York City Friends of Clearwater, the local sloop club chapter of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, is organizing this event as part of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson the explorer sailing up the Hudson River for the first time.

This festival celebrates the essential nature of water to life and the improved natural environment in some locales, which must be vigilantly guarded and re-invigorated. Such water consciousness also realizes the eroding of water conditions in many parts of the world such as China and India.

The festival will include education about the Worldwide Water Crisis and about the conditions in the Hudson River. Networking among water activists is encouraged at this free 12-hour festival.
