Join us Saturday June 15th at 11 AM to celebrate Global Wind Day at Liberty State Park! Global Wind Day is an international occasion to celebrate the importance of wind energy for our clean energy future and decarbonizing our economy.
The NJ Chapter of the Sierra Club, NJ Wind Works Coalition, and various environmental and environmental justice partners will be hosting a day-long event to celebrate and show support for responsible offshore wind development and clean energy more broadly in New Jersey. Offshore wind has the power to carry our state into the future, all while creating thousands of green, high-paying jobs, cleaning our air, and helping us achieve energy independence.
This family-friendly event will have live music, food trucks, a speaking program, children’s entertainment and education, offshore wind coloring books, pinwheels and kite flying, VR headsets with offshore wind simulations, and more, all with the iconic New York City skyline in the background! We encourage folks to bring family and friends and make the day at one of New Jersey’s most treasured urban state parks and enjoy the June sunshine and outdoors with us.
