The Friends of the Cacapon River is hosting its annual Cacapon River Environmental Film Festival. The free event is on Saturday, November 21, from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Historic Star Theater.
The festival will celebrate the beauty of our West Virginia rivers, explore the challenges facing our watersheds, and entertain, inform and inspire our community.
The feature film, River Warrior, is an incredible story of one woman’s journey kayaking from her hometown creek in Appalachia all the way to the Gulf. The film follows her nearly 2,000-mile journey, powered by nothing but a paddle, pedals, determination, and the belief that water is worth fighting for.
“Friends of Cacapon River is proud to bring exciting and educational films to help us better understand how to preserve, protect and promote our beautiful river,” said Glenn Archer, President of the Friends of the Cacapon River. “This year will also include films from West Virginia Rivers, the Potomac Riverkeeper and the Capon Springs Resort.”
The Cacapon River Environmental Film Festival is free and open to the public. Free light refreshments will be available (donation suggested).
The fun and energizing afternoon will include several river conservation organizations sharing important information on how everyone can help support our rivers. Volunteers will be on hand to talk about ongoing projects and our watershed environment.
The Star Theater is located at 49 North Washington Street in Berkeley Springs.
The Cacapon River Environmental Short Film Festival is part of the ongoing Keep the Cacapon River Clean Initiative sponsored by the Friends of the Cacapon River, Cacapon Institute, Upper Potomac Riverkeeper, and Cacapon and Lost Rivers Land Trust.
The initiative brings attention to water quality issues and engages in volunteer activities for river lovers across the region. Donations are welcome. For more information, go to cacaponriver.org or email [email protected].
