Fun in the Sun!

Bonding with Columbia River salmon - 2007 Rally-WA

Note that, for your safety, the sun and all its dangers may be obscured by clouds.

Waterkeeper Alliance and River Network are working together to bring you the most educational, networkable, get the most amazing bang-for-your-buck, FUN conference that you will most likely ever attend. If you've been before, you know exactly what we're talking about.

In fact, we're so dedicated to the cause that we plan to spend the months leading up to River Rally researching fun here in Portland. Believe us, you are so worth it.

First time dipping your toes in the Rally water? Make sure your life vest is firmly cinched.

Music

It happens. 24/7. Sometimes the music is just in your head, but more often than not, it is being created by talented River Rally participants. All are welcome to join a jam, start a jam or just jam alone.

River Heroes Awards Banquet

You'll laugh. You'll cry. Seriously, every year the stories told by your peer heroes make us all dab our eyes at some point. And then we dance in celebration of all our victories that protect our most precious resource: water.

Portland

Oh yeah, have we mentioned that Portland-Metro area is an amazing city to explore? And, we say that not just because it plays host to the headquarters of the Tualatin Riverkeepers, Columbia Riverkeeper, Willamette Riverkeeper and River Network. We have great public transportation, pubs, coffee shops, rivers, museums, parks, biking paths and 25 different ways to convince ourselves that "mist," "sprinkles," and "heavy dew" are NOT rain. Bring your family...and your umbrellas (for the sun, of course).

We say Rally, you say Ho -

Rally Ho! Rally Ho!
