Reporting Period: Calendar Year 2024
Community Education Each month, FoLAR hosts community-centered, family-friendly events on the LA River! Our themes range from Bats & Brews and Queer Ecology Walks to Stories of the River, Naturalist Art Walks, Coffees & Critters, and more. These events are great ways to enjoy and learn more about your neighborhood River. Follow FoLAR on social media or sign up for our newsletter to be first in line for upcoming programs.

Earth Day Extravaganza Over 500 Angelenos joined us at Lewis
MacAdams Riverfront Park to celebrate Earth Day on the Los Angeles River! Kids of all ages explored the River Rover mobile museum, learned how to compost, created art with natural ink, danced on the grass, and so much more all while soaking in the best that green spaces like the LA River and our parks have to offer. 3rd Annual River Fest Over 1,100 folks joined us in August at the LA State Historic Park for River Fest — a free arts and community festival celebrating the culture, history, and people that shape the LA River. Featuring FoLAR’s environmental education activities, 50+ partner organizations, dozens of static and performing artists, and delicious food trucks, there was something for everyone at River Fest! Community Outreach
In addition to running our own events, the FoLAR team joins those of community partners to bring more people into the LA River Movement. Want FoLAR at your organization’s event? Reach out to us at contact@folar.org.
