Upper Green Side

This Sunday, July 2nd, from 1pm to 8pm, sees the first in this summer’s monthly music and markets series, CitySol, hosted by Solar One, the green energy, arts and education center at Stuyvesant Cove Park:

Citysol celebrates the idea that greening New York is about unleashing, not taming, the city and its energy. Each free all-day event includes: renewable energy-powered live music featuring emerging NYC acts, interactive exhibits showcasing key innovations, practices and policies for New York’s sustainable future, and a green lifestyle marketplace offering apparel, electronics, household goods, media and much more.

Stuyvesant Cove Park, off FDR Drive at 22nd and 23rd Streets, is maintained by Solar One under a long-term lease with the city, and has been designated as a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. They use sustainable maintenance practices, run a variety of community events, and are building a full-scale environmental learning center.
