What you can expect at our Riverside Revelry:

 

An Evening Celebration with our Community of Springs Protectors

 
Our goals for the evening are connection, motivation and reflection. After FSC and the Friends of the Wekiva River's historic settlement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, which will strengthen plans to restore the Wekiva River, we want our community of advocates to be included in celebrating this major victory. What better place to gather following this instrumental win than riverside at Wekiva Island. 
 
We guarantee an evening full of great conversations, meeting new friends, connecting with local leaders and appreciation for your continued support for Florida's springs. This is an evening to get to know the Florida Springs Council's staff, board members, and attorneys. 
 

Live Music, Art & Entertainment

 

We promise you fun at the Riverside Revelry! We look forward to having The Willdersons as well as Alana Cavanaugh taking the stage in the evening. In between the music, you'll get a chance to hear from local conservation champions and folks who have been fighting, and winning, for the Wekiva for quite some time. 
 
Wekiva Island's Gallery CERO will be open to check out along with exclusive FSC 10-Year Celebration swag available for donations. Plus, we'll have fun riverside games, photo ops, and activities for guests to enjoy throughout the evening.

​

The Van Cam Photobooth will also be parked at Wekiva Island, so all our guests can walk away with a keepsake to remember the night and enjoy taking pics with friends throughout the evening.
