According to amnewyork, Waterfight NYC, which is promoted primarily on social media with the hashtag #StayWet, is a free-for-all that calls for water-gun enthusiasts to load up their plastic weaponry and shoot them on the Great Lawn of Central Park.
This event was created 4 years ago by two cousins, Brian De La Cruz and Joshen Abreu, via social media. The first year they posted this on Facebook, they had an RSVP of 200 people. This year's posting on Facebook has created quite a stir due to the number of people who have responded - 62,000!
The NYC Parks Department tweeted out that this event does not have a permit and will be shut down. The organizers have come up with a backup plan. To read the article, as well as to learn about the back up plan, please click here.
