Earth Day Celebration with Clearwater

The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the Hudson River. It was founded by folk musician Pete Seeger. The organization owns and operates a historic 106′ Hudson River Sloop replica, recognized as America’s Environmental Flagship.

Join Clearwater for a celebration of Earth Day, Saturday, April 22, at Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie. From 2-4:30 p.m., people of all ages are welcome to enjoy all the fun, family-friendly activities. Tour the sailboat, bring your own T-shirt for river-themed screen printing, and catch and identify local fish. After engaging with the environmental issues of the day, the event will be followed by a two-hour public Hudson River sail at 5 p.m., featuring live music from Brazilian guitarist Benji Kaplan. You can explore the on-deck fish tank, get a chance to turn the tiller, and participate in Clearwater’s traditional moment of silence broken by song.
