On Sunday, April 22nd, Inland Empire Waterkeeper invites locals to the region’s biggest clean water event of the year Rock the River 2018. The Rock the River festival is an Earth Day celebration in the Inland Empire and will draw hundreds of families to McLean-Anza Narrows Park in Riverside beginning at 12 PM. Celebrate the Santa Ana River on Earth Day with free family activities, giveaways, and river tours.

“This premier Earth Day festival is filled with music and fun with the backdrop of our beautiful river,” says Megan Brousseau, Waterkeeper’s Associate Director. “We invite the community to join us for the entertainment, but also to take the opportunity to learn from Inland Empire’s cutting-edge environmental organizations who will showcase their best water-saving techniques, programs, and services.”

The Rock the River lineup includes music provided by 99.1 KGGI, as well as live performances by Hector’s Gringos, and local bands from Encore High School for the Arts. The first 500 people in attendance will also receive free tacos courtesy of Rubio’s Coastal Grill.  

Rock the River benefits Waterkeeper’s robust environmental education programming which includes River KATS: Kid Activism Through Science, Little Seedlings Nature Preschool, and RiverCamp.
