Family Festival at Governors Island!

May 23, 2015 by Deirdre McAndrew

Family Festival

Family Festival at Governors Island! 11th Annual Family Festival! The Family Festival celebrates the Island, play, and nature! As always, it will kick off an exciting summer of programming on Governors Island. Come for puppet-making with Lisa Abbatomarco, hand-made Trout Crowns and Sharks Galore with NY Aquarium, story-making with Story Pirates, the Central Park Zoo Wildlife Theater’s Butterfly Boogie, Arm of the Sea’s Hook, Line, and Sinker, compost learning and animal care with Earth Matter, flower planting with the Trust for Governors Island, live music, ice cream, face painting and tons of fun! 

Environment, conservation, and sustainability are central to the Island’s identity. The Family Festival will explore the intersection of these themes and art making, another major focus of the Governors Island community. This year, the festival will take place in Nolan Park in the Island’s historic district.

Date: Sunday, May 24th [Read more…] about Family Festival at Governors Island!

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
