Through fun\, interactive activities\, children and adults alike will build a deeper connection to the river’s ecology\, beauty\, and challenges—and leave with the understanding that the Hudson River belongs to all of us and that we each have a role to play in protecting it. \nRegister for our June 30 Community Tideline Program.

SUMMARY:Clearwater's 3rd Annual Folk Picnic
DESCRIPTION:Join Hudson River Sloop Clearwater for our third annual Folk Picnic on Saturday\, August 22\, 2026! We look forward to sharing a day of music\, community\, and activism. \nClearwater’s Annual Folk Picnic is a return to our musical roots. In the 1960s\, when Pete and Toshi Seeger and their co-founders set out to build Clearwater\, they organized community folk picnic fundraisers using music as a tool to unite people behind a shared goal of restoring and protecting the Hudson River. Nearly 60 years later\, Clearwater is carrying our musical heritage forward with a free\, community-centered day of music\, celebration\, family activities\, and Hudson River advocacy.
