All Weekend

Also on Saturday on Governor’s Island is the 10^th annual Come Out & Play Family Day, where families can participate in multiple interconnecting games themed around time travel. It, too, is FREE.

If New Jersey is on your agenda, take a jaunt to the Wooden Boat Festival, featuring antique and classic boats, model boats (to build and sail), maritime crafts, pirate shows and more.
