“This is our first major fundraiser since the 2010 “Symphony on the River” Festival, and we’re excited to celebrate alongside the river with new friends as well as familiar faces. Friends of the Napa River is raising funds to support expanded watershed education, for continued improvement to the health of the Napa River and to advocate for the completion of the Living River Flood Control Project.”
