Get ready for an exciting day full of kayaking trips, waterfall rappelling and treks, Oskar Blues beer and music from Pretty Little Goat Stringband when the Spring Green Bash — Saluda’s favorite river and block party — returns on Saturday, May 4, 2024. The Green Riverkeeper will also announce the winner of a charity raffle for a Liquidlogic Saluda 12, a sit-on-top recreational kayak valued at over $1,000. Raffle proceeds benefit the continued work of MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper, the protector and defender of the Green River Watershed.
“We’re so glad to be joining our friends at Green River Adventures as the nonprofit beneficiaries of the Spring Green Bash again this year,” says Green Riverkeeper Erica Shanks, “It’s always a blast and a great time for folks to get outside, celebrate the Green River and our awesome community.”
“It’s going to be another great party this year to kick off a season of fun in our beautiful Green River Gorge,” says Tim Bell, Owner of Green River Adventures. “We’re thankful for all of the work the Green Riverkeeper does to keep the Green River Watershed beautiful for all of the people and businesses that enjoy it!”
