Two Exciting Events on Governors Island This Summer

This summer, two special events will take advantage the Island's most enticing spots, one brand new, the other dating back to pre-Civil War years. Next week, join the Governors Island Alliance in welcoming a one of the newest crowds of Island-goers - the young professionals - and the Island's newest tenant, Water Taxi Beach. And later in the summer, after what promises to be a riveting performance by folk music icon Judy Collins, celebrate the Island's architectural beauty with fellow Alliance members for a Garden Party in the historic Admiral's House in Nolan Park.
