Today I learned about the Rally for the River taking place in Baltimore this Sunday, September 21st, from 8am to 2pm. One lane of 83 will be closed to traffic and open for cyclists, hikers, runners, walkers, skaters, for kids and adults to play. Riding or walking on a highway…that’s a rare opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss.
There will also be games, displays, food, beer, and music. Check out the JonesFalls.org site for more details and photos from last year’s Rally on Flickr. That looks really fun–I wonder why I didn’t know about it before. I’m already looking forward to this!
When I browsed Jones Falls Watershed Association to register for the Rally I also spotted the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival which is actually a nationwide festival that started off in Nevada City, CA and celebrated its 7th anniversary last January. During the year a selection of films makes a round on tour through the US. More details and dates can be found here. The festival will reach Baltimore in October and will be hosted by the Jones Falls and Herring Run Watershed Association. Find more details on the Herring Run site. It will take place on October 16 from 7pm-9:30pm at the MICA Brown Center (map). I’m curious about the selection of films and definitely look forward to this event as well.
