This family day turns a serious subject, getting ready for storms and protecting local waterways, into hands-on fun: crafts for kids, music, community groups with practical resources and a performance called the Please Don't Flush Climate Play about keeping sewage out of Flushing Bay. It is set in a 39-acre garden that is lovely in early fall. If you have young kids and want a Queens morning that's both playful and useful, go.
What to expect
Tables and activity stations around the garden where families make crafts, pick up preparedness resources and meet local environmental groups. A short climate-themed play and live music fill out the day.
