ROWport 2023: A Community Celebration of OUR Waterways 

Saturday, October 21, 2023

Rain Date: Sunday, October 22, 2023

For more than a decade, ROW has walked alongside communities to discover and celebrate their waterways as a community asset. As a collective, we invite you to join us as we raise awareness, join in celebration, and share in activities related to education on environmental impact during ROWport 2023. Our vision is to celebrate, educate and empower around our waterways and White River watershed. This day-long event is open to all, family-friendly, and hosts a series of events to invite participation from all ages!
