Our 5th Anniversary celebration now continues Saturday, September 12th! Mother nature forced us to make a change but the vibes must go on!

The vibes begin on Governors Island! This is an adventure in your own backyard for a picnic experience like none other. We're taking over one of the city's not-so-hidden gems, and trading the dance floor for ferry rides, an open field of green grass & endless vibes.

From the beginning to the end, this is a day curated to satisfy all your enjoyment needs.

The soundtrack for the day is taking us across the diaspora for all your favorite anthems & hits. (hip-hop to r&b, reggae, afrobeats, amapiano, dancehall & more)

For our early birds, you can get right with our wellness programming to kick off the day with body Sculpt & Restore sessions by Inward Space.

Later on, the fun & games begin with an island-wide scavenger hunt, tug-of-war, volleyball, and more.

We gave you the reasons; now pack your blankets, hit your group chats, & come ready to have one of those summer day you won't be able to forget.

RSVP required to access all activations, giveaways, and programming throughout the day (no exceptions).

Address: CaribBeing House - 408 Colonel Row, Governors Island, New York NY 10004.

Governors Island is accessible by ferry from the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in Lower Manhattan. Brooklyn ferry service is also accessible from Brooklyn Bridge Park/Pier 6 and Red Hook/Atlantic Basin.
