6th Annual Horseshoe Crab Festival

6TH ANNUAL HORSESHOE CRAB FESTIVAL
Saturday, June 4, 11am-2pm
With American Littoral Society, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, and Gateway National Recreation Area

Meet at the refuge visitor center for a special event – the 6th annual Jamaica Bay Horseshoe Crab Festival, which celebrates the ancient mating ritual of these charismatic "living dinosaurs."

Attendees will meet at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge visitor center, where the event will begin with a few activities. Then we will head down to visit the shoreline at the American Ballfield beach (W. 22nd Street) and meet the ancient crabs in person.

Kids are welcome. We encourage you to ride-share or take local public transportation down to the beach.

This is a partnership program with NYC Audubon, the National Park Service, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, and the American Littoral Society. If you need additional info or guidance on transit and where to meet, please email don@littoralsociety.org. Free and open to the public.
