Why: “California’s rivers are not only the source of recreation for boaters, they also are the source of clean drinking water for California communities,” said Katharyn McLearan, communications director for Friends of the River. “It is fitting that this year’s Festival takes place on the banks of the American River, which is one of the top recreational rivers in the country and a popular urban oasis for families, as well as the source of drinking water for Sacramento and the Bay Area.”
