The Festival del Rio is a bilingual event that brings children and families to the Anacostia River for outdoor recreation, environmental education and stewardship through fun and interactive displays. This festival has become an enjoyable event for many in our area; a way for Hispanic families to celebrate and share their culture while learning about the river and its conservation.
While the festival cannot be outdoors this year, the planning committee led by ecoLatinos is recreating the festival experience in a virtual format.
Building upon previous years’ success, the festival’s exhibitors will provide virtual live and prerecorded activities and language-friendly demonstrations through which participants can experience outdoor recreation, learn about environmental issues affecting the Anacostia watershed, or become engaged in opportunities provided by participating organizations.
Join us at the Festival del Rio Anacostia on October 24th, 2020 from 11am to 4pm.
