Book your stay for July 4th weekend and see Governors Island in an entirely new light.

As Americans celebrate 250 years of the nation’s history in 2026, NYC’s only glamping waterfront retreat offers a unique vantage point of American iconography.

On July 4, one could ask for no better view of Sail 4th, a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary with the largest-ever flotilla of tall ships from around the world, creating a majestic nautical spectacle.

As day turns to night, the celebration reaches historic proportions with the 50th Anniversary Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks show. In honor of the nation’s 250th birthday, this year’s display is set to be the largest in NYC history, expanding across both the East and Hudson Rivers to illuminate the entire New York Harbor skyline.

From the shores of Governors Island, guests will have a front-row, 360-degree seat to unforgettable, once-in-a-generation events on land, air, and sea.

For Collective Retreats Guests:

Enhance your evening with dinner at Three Peaks Lodge before the fireworks display, and return to your luxury tent or suite after s’mores and stargazing under the midnight sky.
