CITY OF WATER DAY
SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2026
AT FDR FOUR FREEDOMS STATE PARK
Weekend, July 25-26, 2026
Issue # 1720
Now in its 19th year, City of Water Day is a region-wide day, organized by Waterfront Alliance and New York–New Jersey Harbor & Estuary Program (HEP), to champion a climate-resilient New York and New Jersey harbor by inviting communities to experience their local waterways through free, family friendly activities that support joy, belonging, education, access, and stewardship.
Introspection is about Luyster Creek, a body of water hidden in Queens/Astoria, and it is a part of a series of works called Dancing Underground Waterways, which is about dancing hidden bodies of water in Queens and beyond. Luyster Creek is an area with water that can be accessed by residents but isn’t. Through the dance performance of Introspection, ShakunDaviDance is bringing the site’s history and possible future to residents of Roosevelt Island.
Founded in 2016 and based in Queens, we can be seen appearing at over 150 events per year ranging from birthday parties and weddings to fundraisers, galas, parades and marches. Fogo Azul NYC is a community group open to folks who believe music and rhythm is in every human—if you give them the means, very loudly! Fogo Azul NYC is an age and ethnically diverse community of people who span the drummer spectrum from novice to professional. Always taking new members. We love bringing the beat to NYC!
