There truly is something for everyone during this two weekend celebration. Events are family friendly and free of charge thanks to Think Blue San Diego, SDG&E and other sponsors.
According to Rob Hutsel, Executive Director of The San Diego River Park Foundation, “River Days is an annual tradition that offers a great way for people to join others in exploring all the river has to offer. There are also some great ways to give back to the community including the 2nd annual Youth Day of Service, where 1000 people are anticipated to perform 8 different community service projects on Saturday, May 19th. We invite San Diego to come out and join us!”
Thanks to Sea World, participating kids will also have a chance to receive a limited number of free Sea World tickets, too!”
