for larger version       RAA Opens Our Beaches With Whalemina
In the 1990's the late Sal Arena discovered that the whale in the Central Park Children's Zoo was being removed and asked the NYC Department of Parks if it could be relocated to Rockaway Beach. With the help of the Rockaway Beach Civic Association and Community Board 14, this transition occurred and she was moved to her new home on Beach 94 Street. Since then she has gone through various stages of renovation with the help of neighbors, parks volunteers, artist volunteers, and missionaries from the Mormon Church. Grants and donations also made the renovations possible.
During the event, spectators can view sand sculptures, the Beach Channel High School Marching Band, a Riverhead Mock Dolphin rescue, the MS 202 band, and Indaculture Live.
