Governors Island Picnic

  • Governors Island NY, 10004 United States (map)

We are planning a celebratory kickoff to the fall season with the church family. This will be a time to encounter God, to have fun and share a meal, play, and relax together.

This event is free to all. All are welcome. Whether you’ve been part of Trinity Grace Church for years or if you’re brand new to our community, we would love to have you!

Take a quick ferry ride from Brooklyn or Lower Manhattan. We will be gathering in The Oval on the northeast side of the island, a short walk from both ferry landings.

Here's a few tips to get you ready:

  • Plan to bring water, sunscreen, and good walking shoes.

  • Food and drinks are available to purchase at the nearby food trucks, or you can bring your own picnic lunch.

  • Rental bikes or Citi Bikes are available on the island. You can also bring your own wheels (non-electric bikes, strollers, scooters, rollerblades).

  • We are bringing music and lawn games for all ages.  Feel free to bring your own games to play too!

  • NOTE: The Trust for Governors Island-operated ferries are not operating in Brooklyn, only NYC Ferry services Brooklyn at this time. 

Whether you’ve been part of Trinity Grace Church for years or if you’re brand new to our community, we would love to see you there!
