2026 Waterfront Gala
Join us at our annual Waterfront Gala on October 14, 2026!
Join the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy (HPPC) for our 2026 Waterfront Gala, the premier neighborhood celebration honoring the green spaces and vibrant community that make the Long Island City waterfront so spectacular. One night. One skyline. One incredible cause.
Set against the glittering Manhattan skyline at American Brass, this evening brings together park lovers, local businesses, and community leaders for a night of celebration, connection, and seriously impactful fundraising — all in support of the waterfront parks we love.
Skyline & Sips — Sip premium drinks, savor incredible food, and soak up front-row waterfront views of the Manhattan skyline.
The 2026 Community & Leadership Awards — Be there as we recognize this year's standout civic champions and exemplary volunteers driving real change right here in our community. (Honorees dropping soon — stay tuned!)
Win Big for the Parks — Participate in our signature Silent Auction featuring incredible donated prizes and memorable experiences!
