dailybell- Solstice Sunset Cross-River Bell Ringing - Make Music Day
This a such a short and sweet event but totally worth it! Once you’ve purchased your Ferry ticket, the event/performance is FREE. If you are in the New York City area on the Solstice this year, please join us for this event.
Something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.
Brenda Hutchinson and dailybell are joining Make Music Day again this year to celebrate the Summer Solstice this year on Sun. June 21st . Sunset is at 8:30 PM, and we will board the 8:26 PM East River Ferry from DUMBO to Wall Street/ Pier 11. Arrive early to receive your complimentary bells (while they last) before boarding the Ferry and celebrate the Solstice with a lovely sprinkling of bells as we cross the East River together.
The rising and setting of the sun provide two opportunities for a shared acknowledgement of our basic connection to one another and to the natural environment. Now an international community, the dailybell began on New Year’s Eve Dec, 31 2007 with the commitment to an ongoing, socially engaged project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crossed the horizon and to the sharing of the awareness of that moment with others by ringing a bell (or many bells together).
We are celebrating the Solstice on Sunday, June 21st along with the Make Music NY Solstice celebration. Sunset is at 8:30 PM.
8:00 PM We will be there to meet and gather with one another and to distribute bells to early birds.
8:26 PM Ferry Departs
River Crossing Time: 4 minutes! The East River is very narrow at this point.
