Save The River’s Non-Gala Celebration is part of a longtime tradition with origins tied to the illumination ceremonies made popular on the St. Lawrence River during the Gilded Age at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1970s River Appreciation Day was revived and in more recent years we have celebrated the Non-Gala River Remembrance as an opportunity to honor the spirit of the River that runs through all of us – connecting family, friends, and neighbors alike – with-out the pressure and costs of a formal special event. We invite you to enjoy a quiet evening at home, wherever that may be at this time of the year, reflecting on the natural beauty of the St. Lawrence River.
