Happy EARTH DAY

Join us for Singing in the Rain!

America's 1st Annual Float-In Earth Day is ON! Demonstrate your support for clean water Rain or Shine!



Come prepared with umbrellas, ponchos and good cheer! It would take a lot more than a little rain to stop us from celebrating the 40th Birthday of the Clean Water Act, and from fighting to protect our nation's waters!

FLOAT-IN made EZ:

Event takes place RAIN OR SHINE. We highly recommend that you either boat, walk, bike, take metro or carpool to the event. It could not be easier to use the metro!
