DUNKIN FloatSwella 2024 is July 13 in Mystic
The Downtown Mystic Merchants and Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce in partnership with NORTH SWELL present DUNKIN FloatSwella 2024— a pop-up paddle-craft only rally on the Mystic River. The community is invited and encouraged to attend this free event.
Local businesses sponsoring this event are Dunkin, North Swell, Mystic Seaport Museum, The Westerly Sun, Yale New Haven Health, Charter Oak Federal Credit Union, Hartford Healthcare, Mystic Transportation and Stratedia, to whom we are thankful for their continued commitment to the community.
The event will take place north of the Mystic River drawbridge on the west side of the river, and outside the channel. All forms of floating paddle-craft are welcome, lifejackets are required, and we ask that motorized vessels stay clear of the event.
The event has returned to reggae music this year and features Red Lion, they will be playing on the floating stage tethered to land on Gravel Street, for all participants to enjoy.
Bruce Flax, President of the Greater Mystic Chamber, said “This event has turned into a community gathering with Mystic residents and people form the surrounding communities, dropping their water craft in and enjoying the day.”
We are promoting four launching points:
- Under the I95 highway bridge on River Road
- Isham Street (at Bay Street),
- Water Street across from the Daniel Packer Inne
- Williams Beach at the Ocean Community YMCA
This event will benefit both the GMCC and DMM, and allow both organizations to promote the businesses that make up the Mystic community. If you would like to support the event by making a general contribution, please use the event’s VENMO: @MysticChamber.
Limited edition event T-Shirts featuring the event poster is available anytime at North Swell, right on West Main Street and at the Chamber Visitor Center at 4 East Main. In addition, there will be a merchandise booth on the water during the event.
The rain date for this event is Sunday, July 14, from 1pm – 3pm.
