City Day of Water @ BRAC 2026
July 25 • Live
City of Water Day is a free, drop-in public program centered at BRAC with rotating indoor workshops and guided outdoor excursions along the Bronx River Greenway to Drew Gardens. The day connects art-making, environmental learning, and community participation through hands-on activities rooted in the Bronx River watershed.
Participants move between stations at BRAC and guided outdoor experiences that include river access points, a riverbank clean-up, and a walking tour of the Greenway ecosystem.
