The Get To The River Festival will offer events along the Jordan River and at its adjacent parks and trails during September, encouraging residents to visit the riparian and recreation corridor that connects the Utah and Great Salt Lakes.
Festival events include service projects aimed at pulling weeds and cleaning up garbage along the river and parkway trail, as well as guided walks, bike rides and kayak trips, toy boat races and a Beatles tribute concert in Riverton by the Shout Children’s Choir.
“That’s kind of a unique event that you won’t see anywhere else,” said Soren Simonsen, executive director of the Jordan River Commission.
