It's Time To Tailgate In Downtown New Rochelle At 2 Events

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — What's better than a downtown New Rochelle tailgate? Two Downtown New Rochelle tailgates.

The City of New Rochelle Parks and Recreation Department is inviting everyone to participate in two special tailgating events in downtown New Rochelle on Saturday to get ready for the playoffs.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., families and youth are invited to the Kick-Off Party and Family Tailgate at Downtown REC, a new space on the second floor of New Roc City, which is located at 33 LeCount Place. Organizers say the free event will feature a Cheer Clinic, inflatable games, snacks and more. Registration is required and can be done here. For more information, contact Recreation Supervisor Lisa Flowers at 914-654-2085.

From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., adults 21 and older will be able to experience the spirit of game day at Downtown Tailgate, an event in partnership with the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District (BID), at Anderson Plaza, located at 20 Anderson Street. Participants will be able to enjoy classic tailgate games, and are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite team colors and to get ready to cheer. Outdoor heaters will be set up to keep everyone warm, but organizers still recommend dressing appropriately for the cold weather. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Spectators Sports Bar.
