Join us for a day of fun and celebration with The POINT CDC and Rocking the Boat for our Golden Ball Celebration on Saturday, May 16th from 12pm – 5pm at Hunts Point Riverside Park. There will be free food, free community rowing, free art activities and more!
The Golden Ball celebration began as a multimedia art event connecting communities along the Bronx River, using it as both a metaphor and physical link. On April 24th, 1999, a 32inch golden ball traveled 10 miles from Bronxville to the South Bronx, symbolizing unity, life, and energy. Residents from the Bronx and Westchester walked alongside it, joined by artists, performers, and musicians, with community events held at various points along the river, including The Bronx Botanical Gardens and The Bronx Zoo.
The journey highlighted both the river’s potential as a shared public space and the challenges to accessing it. The project aimed to inspire long-term community involvement and river stewardship, with plans for annual events.
In later years, the Bronx River Golden Ball Festival expanded into a full-day event featuring nature walks, cleanups, restoration projects, and canoe events along the Bronx River. Overall, the event combines art, environmental action, and community engagement to encourage residents to reclaim, care for, and connect with the Bronx River.

today is april 30th and New York State still hasn’t passed our state budget. @govkathyhochul remains committed to gutting our landmark climate law and underfunding our public schools while students face dire conditions every day.
🌱 comment “healthy” to get our call tool and let the governor know directly that we must invest in our schools and our future!

🎷April is Jazz Appreciation Month… And, I closed it out dancing w/ Steve Williams/CEO of WBGO-The Worlds Premiere Jazz Station! 🎶
🎤 I recall him saying something during our interview that zapped me. He said: “How blessed are we to have dream jobs” or something along those lines. My point is that he related his love for his station to the love I exude instudio. Cause I love what I do with all my heart, and it never gets old.

Community is key to Climate Justice. And Earth Week should revolve around those pillars.
From the S.I. to the BK, and from Uptown to the Boogie Down, check out these Earth Week events with some of our members.
🌎 Thank you to @nysenatorrivera for this op-ed in @nydailynews today, calling on his fellow state leaders to protect NY's Climate Law.
"For low-income families and communities of color across New York, the proposed delays and rollbacks to the climate law aren’t abstract policy debates; they risk real and devastating impacts that could be avoided by investing in much-needed household services and community resources through the climate law."
