Join us for a free, year-round “Fitness at the Fort” exercise program on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays!
This fitness class incorporates climbing multiple staircases, stretches and strengthening exercises, notable tree identification, and forest bathing. Led by instructor, Nancy Bruning, BA, MPH, PAPHS.
Classes are structured so that all levels of fitness will be accommodated; however, all classes involve relatively brisk walking and some stairs because of the layout of the park itself. Classes vary according to the season, path conditions, and the weather, but always meet at the Heather Garden entrance.
Tuesday and Thursday classes end at various points near the starting point, including the volleyball courts. Saturday class ends at the Anne Loftus Playground, using the various pieces of equipment, and offers optional after-class group walk to the Greenmarket on Isham Street. All classes end with closing with stretches.
(Note: Fitness Walking does not meet if it is raining or if the actual temperature or wind chill is below 20 degrees F.)

Dominican Day Parade

Dominican Day Parade 2026Sunday, August 9, 2026 | 12:00 PM
Celebrate Dominican pride, culture, and community at the annual Dominican Day Parade, the largest Dominican celebration in the United States!
Founded in Washington Heights and rooted in the vibrant Dominican community of Upper Manhattan, this spectacular summer tradition brings more than 400,000 people together each year. The parade begins at 12:00 PM along Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), marching from 37th Street to 55th Street in a dazzling display of music, dance, and national pride. While smaller celebrations take place in the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn on other dates, this Manhattan parade is the largest and most iconic.
Dominican Day in New York commemorates the anniversary of the 1863 Restoration War, marking the Dominican Republic’s fight for independence from Spain. It is also a celebration of the enduring contributions of Dominican Americans to the cultural, civic, and economic life of New York City and the United States.
Dominicans are the fastest-growing Latino group in New York City, and this annual celebration reflects the energy, resilience, and influence of a community that continues to shape the city’s cultural landscape.
We invite neighbors, families, and visitors to experience this joyful celebration of heritage and unity. Come early, bring your flags, and be ready to dance!
