Phyllis the Shark with her maker Meg Ambroise, 2022

PortSide NewYork is again excitedly participating in Red Hook’s Barnacle Parade. Begun to celebrate resilience after Hurricane Sandy, the parade is held each year on the anniversary of the storm, October 29, rain or shine. The parade musters in Coffey Park and travels through Red Hook. An after-party with music food and fundraising will be held back on Pioneer Street.

Start time: 4pm, Coffey Park
After-party: 6pm, Pioneer Street, between Van Brunt & Imlay streets

This year PortSide will be creating a 4-foot high, paper mache version of our ship cat Chiclet to ride Phyllis the Shark, one of the stars of last year's parade. If you would like to help make Chiclet please contact us. We would really love your help!
