Year of the Anacostia: Festival del Rio

Festival del Rio is an event designed to engage the Latino community through free bilingual and family-friendly events. This year they also celebrated the Year of the Anacostia. The event was a way for the Hispanic community to unite with the river and learn more about it.

They had government sponsors from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Citizens Advisory Committee.
