Newest stage in Brooklyn? ✅

We finished up the resurface of our dock Blue Onion just in time for the kick off of both the on the water season and the first Cultural Ecologies series show on May 23rd (rsvp on Eventbrite)! Can’t wait to present special guests @discocactusmusic and bring full bands out on the water! Don’t miss the party!

A special thanks for the build crew of Dredgers volunteers Devon, Devin, Jos, Brad, and Max for a Herculean effort to make this happen on a rainy Saturday!

Join us on the water for sunset 🌅🚣‍♀️
Sunset paddles are one of our favorite ways to share our local stretch of Brooklyn’s waterfront. There’s something about that golden-hour light—the way the water reflects the sky, the city softens, and everything slows down—that helps people see it all in a new way.
On May 14th, come experience it for yourself. We’ll launch from 19th Street and head out for a relaxed evening paddle. Open to all levels, whether you’re brand new or have been out with us before.
Come unwind, connect, and fall a little more in love with our local waterways.

📅 May 14
🕖 Launch time: 7PM
📍 19th St. Dock (2 19th St.)
