We're taking the river back for a day with a happening that is the opposite of a parade. Spectators will flow along the 1.5 mile route through performances, spectacles, activities and projects strung along the river path. This happening will celebrate and attract attention to one of the United States 10 most endangered rivers which happens to flow through Valencia.

Students from Fritz Haeg’s CalArts spring studio have produced, curated and organized this ephemeral community event involving artists, performers, musicians, hobbyists, enthusiasts, advocacy groups, students, individuals and organizations from Valencia, Los Angeles and beyond.

Last minute projects, performances and presentations are welcome, bring your musical instruments, animal costumes, protest signs, magic props, environmental propaganda, dance steps, bored children, balloon tricks, face paints, sidewalk chalk, ecology stories and river accoutrement.
