6-7PM EDT
The Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club and the Wide Awakes Navy take to the waters of the Gowanus Canal's Fourth Street Basin to get out the vote - by boat! Watch the whirling flotilla while distanced and masked from shore as Metropolitan Horn Authority, a french horn quartet, serenades from canoes with songs to sing along to in hope.
We ask the public to greet us at socially distant spots along the shore with signs to promote get out the vote! Prepare to share photos and video with friends and family living in NY and other states to boost enthusiasm. Best viewing is from Whole Foods esplanade, Third Avenue Bridge, and the small parking lot at the end of 2nd Avenue off 6th St. lot).
Performances by Shequida Hall (brought to you by The American Opera Project, Make Music New York, and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs) and the Metropolitan Horn Ensemble.
