The observance is held every year on the fourth Sunday of September. This year, it fell on September 27. According to the organizers of the event, 'plants and animals surrounding the river and canyon would not thrive and be as beautiful as they are if our rivers were polluted.'

SHORT POEM ON RIVER

Runs down the river

From hills to the sea

Passing through the brooks

Gushing around the trees
