Manhattan’s West Harlem Piers Park, located at 125th Street and the Hudson River, will host “Fishing Festival,” a special family-friendly outdoor event, on Saturday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Throughout the day, the Urban Park Rangers will provide visitors with fishing rods and reels, as well as discuss proper angling techniques, fish biology and river ecology. However, only catch-andrelease fishing will be allowed.

In addition, there will also be a wide range of other river-related activities for all ages to enjoy.

Admission is free and open to the public. Call 212-628-2345.
