Silent Disco: A dance party with headphones! Three live DJs will spin music of different genres, which you can switch between. Headphones are provided on a first come, first serve basis.

Sun Gaze Sundays: Stare into the sun with solar telescopes “designed to safely observe sunspots and solar prominences.” Sundays: May 15, June 12, July 17 and August 14 from 1-4pm.
Pier I Picture Show: This outdoor movie series will feature titles including Singin’ in the Rain, State and Main and The Artist. Wednesdays from July 6-August 17; seating opens at 6:30pm.
