GOATHAM Festival
July 7, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Mark your calendars for a new kind of Goatham experience:
Friday, July 7, 11am – 2pm at the new 95th Street Compost Compound
This year, the herd is making a pit stop on the way to their summer home in the woods between 119th and 122nd Streets.
Join us for a special Goatham festival on July 7 where our four goats — Cowgirl, Chico, Charlie, and Mallomar — will be the esteemed guests of honor at a “ribbon chewing” ceremony for our brand-new Compost Compound at 95th Street. The festival will feature local vendor booths, live music, goat-themed merchandise, photo opportunities, arts and crafts, and educational activities for all ages.
Fearless in the face of challenging terrain and with an appetite for devouring poison ivy, our goats are part of a 5-year plan to clear a steep slope of invasives and replant it with native, ecologically desirable species.
As they return for their 4th summer on the job, our goats eager to embrace new roles as am-baaaa-ssadors for all of the sustainability initiatives in Riverside Park, starting with our compost initiative.
Join us on July 7 to wish them luck — and to help us kick off a new hoof-to-hoof competition to see who will be this year’s GOAT!
