Tour | Bayonne Bridge Walk


About 24 miles, 9 hours. This is a walk across the western part of Staten Island, along the shore front, as much as possible – some of it with great views and some of it industrial and a bit run down, and some through an historic park, to the Bayonne Bridge. Walk over the bridge to Bayonne, New Jersey, along Newark Bay, walk through Stephen Gregg Park and a very beautiful boardwalk on a nature trail, and eventually, after doing some more street walking, head to Liberty State Park, past Ellis Island and finish up in downtown Jersey City.

Dance Performance | 35th Annual New York Sword Dance Festival


Half Moon Sword will present its 35th annual New York Sword Dance Festival in New York City. The event will feature 12 performing troupes from across the U.S. The festival, which New York-based Half Moon Sword inaugurated in 1986, was the first event in North America to focus on English-style sword dancing. Sword dancing is a winter celebration practiced in the farming and coal-mining regions of northern England, where the annual visit of the local sword dancers to the village homes was thought to guarantee good luck for the year. The festival will feature both mystical, stately longsword and vigorous rapper sword dancing, with live music on fiddle, accordion, and other instruments. In both types of sword dance, the dancers are linked in a ring by the "swords" they hold in their hands while they work as a team to weave intricate figures and patterns without breaking the circle.
