South Hadley — The Connecticut River Watershed Council (CRWC) will be kicking off its annual River Celebration in South Hadley on Saturday, offering river tours, free food (including ice cream) and live music.
The festivities will begin at 9 a.m. and are expected to draw a crowd of more than 175 guests. The event will also feature naturalist Laurie Sanders, who will speak about the river’s influence on the area’s history.
CRWC, an organization that works to protect the Connecticut River Watershed and its wildlife, holds this event every year as a celebration of the river’s importance to local life.
“There are so many reasons to celebrate the Connecticut River,” said CRWC Executive Director Andrew Fisk in a press release. “We love getting to know the many people who cherish New England’s largest river. It’s wonderful to gather and enjoy our rivers together.”
