The reason for the march? To promote responsible and sustainable water use. And to that end, there’ll be no one-use bottled water at the event. Marchers are encouraged to bring their own reusable containers, which can be refilled at water stations set up for the event. Don’t have a reusable bottle? Then be one of the first 500 people to sign in and get a free 24-oz stainless steel water bottle.

 

Pre-march activities will begin at 9 a.m. at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. At 10 a.m., the march begins. The route is under 3 miles. Then from noon to 3 p.m., there’ll be a “Water Celebration” at Rio de Los Angeles State Historic Park. A whole bunch of local and national enviro orgs — including Sierra Club, Friends of the L.A. River and Heal the Bay — are behind the event, and a number of school groups are expected to join the march, too.
