The Village of Nissequogue and the Friends of Stony Brook Harbor, host Happy Harbor Day for the first time in 15 years. Enjoy games and activities for kids, plus food trucks and ice cream.

This family-friendly event aims to raise awareness of the beautiful, yet fragile Stony Brook Harbor.  The event, which will be held just past the boat launch at Long Beach in Nissequogue on Saturday, September 30 marks the return of Harbor Day after a 15-year absence.

In addition to a variety of environmental and marine science experts who will make presentations, there will be aquarium touch-tanks for young attendees as well as carnival games, all with a nautical theme. Two bands will perform, The Mondays and The Royal Yard, which specializes in songs called “sea shanties." 

A community-wide art contest, open to all kids, kindergarten to 12th grade, will also be a feature of Harbor Day. The theme of the competition is, “save our happy harbor.”
