Join us for the 6th Annual Rally for the Rivers Eco-Fest on Sunday June 1, 2024 from 9 am - 12:30 pm at Victory Park in Rumson (rain date June 2).
This FREE annual family friendly event is a fun-filled day of educational activities that help illustrate ways we can help protect our local waterways. Hundreds of families come out each year to take the Passport Challenge! Attendees receive a stamp after completing a fun game or activity at each of the tables to earn enough stamps to complete the challenge and head out to local businesses to redeem for a special treat or discount. Click HERE to view last year's Eco-Fest Passport.
There are several ways to participate:
- HOST A TABLE: We love to have local environmentally-minded groups host a table to present an educational message on how we can protect our rivers. If interested in signing up for a table, please fill out the form at this LINK.
- OFFER A PASSPORT REWARD: If you are a local buisness and would like to offer a discount in our 2024 Eco-Fest Passport, please reach out! Attendees that bring a completed Eco-Fest passport to your buisness during the month of June will receive the discount.
- SCIENCE CLASS EXTRA CREDIT: The last couple of years, we have been partnering with area schools that give students extra-credit for bringing in a completed Eco-Fest passport. This seems to fit nicely with science curriculums across various grades.
- VOLUNTEERS: We also need volunteers the day of to help with set-up and break-down. This should be done by older students or adults.
