In a first time ever annual benefit concert, the South Street Seaport Museum introduces Dock Rocks — Party on the Pier on Tuesday, August 4 at 5pm.
In efforts to revive the Seaport Museum after Hurricane Sandy, the five-hour boat party will showcase British pop/rock band, Duran Duran, and special guest, Wyclef Jean. Executive Director, Captain Jonathan Boulware, hopes these initiatives will help the rebirth of the Seaport Museu’s on-water educational programs, as well as their collections, historic buildings and ships.

UPDATE:
The South Street Seaport Museum announced the cancellation of DOCK ROCKS – Party on the Piers. Due to unforeseen location issues at the site, today’s event has been cancelled. As an Alternative, the South Street Seaport Museum plans to host an alternative fundraiser in the fall, that will include many of the same performances and the opportunity to enjoy everything that the Seaport has to offer.
