This a such a short and sweet event but totally worth it! Once you purchase your ticket for the Ferry ride on the East River Ferry route from DUMBO to Wall Street, the bellringing event is free and fun. If you are in the New York City area on the Solstice this year, please join us for either or both of these events.
Here's the description and info for the event--
(This will be the 3rd summer in a row and though short it's a surprisingly magical moment ringing bells with people you know and have just met as we cross the East River together on a little Ferry)
Something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree. (a pleasant thought to hold onto at this moment...)
Brenda Hutchinson and dailybell are presenting 2 opportunities to celebrate the Summer Solstice this year: the actual Solstice on Thurs, June 20th and again on Fri, June 21st as it joins Make Music NY. We will board the 8:29 PM East River Ferry from DUMBO to Wall Street/ Pier 11. Arrive early to receive your complimentary bells (while they last) before boarding the Ferry and celebrate the Solstice with a lovely sprinkling of bells as we cross the East River together.
SCHEDULE:
We will be doing this on two evenings (June 20th- actual Solstice and June 21st- Make Music Day NY Solstice celebration):
8:00 PM We will be there to meet and gather with one another and to distribute bells.
