Raise the River Festival
The River Unites Us
October 19 - 26, 2023
Join us for the RAISE THE RIVER FESTIVAL: THE RIVER UNITES US!
From October 19 to 26, Raise the River will host a series of free, in-person events in Mexicali and San Luis Río Colorado, as well as a virtual event exploring all of the ways the Colorado River serves to bring us together -- and how the delta region can benefit when we work in cooperation.
Featuring our coalition member organizations together with representatives from the United States and Mexico federal governments -- important partners in our efforts -- our online program of interactive talks and virtual tours will explore how teamwork is bringing water and life back to the Colorado River Delta.
Mark your calendars, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram!
Join us for an afternoon and evening filled with music, fun, raffle prizes, educational games, and more! We'll be providing native tree seedlings that you can take home to plant, and more than 70 other exhibitors will be featuring a variety of organic and artisanal products
Join us for our online event featuring talks, presentations, and exchanges among our coalition members and allies, including our partners from the United States and Mexican federal governments. The event will feature four blocks of sessions, taking place from 9 am to 1 pm PT.
The Raise the River coalition will have a booth at the Tierra Sonora Festival. Over four days, we will be participating in various shows and activities, offering raffle prizes, the chance to take home a native plant, and many other activities aimed at reconnecting our community with the Colorado River Delta.
