BREAKING WATERMUSIC NEWS: At 7:20 pm Steven Stull and Djug Django will lead a chorus of paddlers in singing The Erie Canal Song (‘Low bridge everybody down’….remember it from 3rd grade?). We are hoping to set the unofficial world record for the largest floating chorus of canoes and kayaks singing The Erie Canal Song. Meet at Lookout Point at the northern tip of Inlet Island, just past the Boatyard Grill. We will share the lyrics on our web site and Facebook page on Thursday.

Discover over 75 local fine artists from the finger lakes region in one location at the 31st annual Ithaca Artist Market! Enjoy food, drinks, and jazz music with your art, meet local non-profits, or take a Discover Cayuga Lake boat tour. More info.

Stewart Park’s entry landscape just received its summer haircut thanks to the Tompkins County Beautification Program and the volunteer Beautification Brigade. Don’t worry, the 'Walkers Low’ Catmint will come back strong to complement the larger Russian Sage and Switch Grasses at the center of the island. Thanks to Janine Willis, her staff, and all of the volunteers. Friends of Stewart Park greatly appreciates all they do for Stewart Park and the community.
