2024 New Rochelle Children's Fishing Derby Lined Up To Reel 'Em In

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Taking kids fishing is a rite of passage and there might be no better time to hang the "Gone Fishing" sign than now.

It's time once again for the Annual Children's Fishing Derby held by New Rochelle Parks and Recreation. The event will take place at the Twin Lakes of Huguenot Park (in front of New Rochelle High School) on Saturday, June 15, from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. The free event is geared towards students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Children should bring their own fishing rod, reel and hook. A limited supply of fishing bait will be available as well as snacks (don't get the two confused). Prizes will be given for the biggest and smallest catches.

The free event is sponsored by Dan Carello Realty, New Rochelle Lions Club, Bellissimo Provisions, New Rochelle Truck, Top Drawer Cabinetry, Dubrovnik Restaurant, Precision Contracting, Rob’s Auto Body, C & C Auto, Palmer Automotive, PFA Contracting, Jim Lasser, Frank Donoven, and Post 8th American Legion.
