For World Water Day last year, Angelenos took part in a March for Water. This year we’re get a World Water Day Los Angeles complete with watery lectures, demos, and a forum — as well as traditional dance, a drum circle, live animal presentations and other kid-friendly activities!

World Water Day’s actually on March 22, but World Water Day Los Angeles celebrations will happen a few days early to coincide with the Natural History Museum’s Sustainable Sundays series:

When: Sun., March 14 from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
Where: Natural History Museum, 900 Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles.
Cost: Free

Fittingly, World Water Day L.A.’s a disposable water bottle-free event — so make sure you take your own reusable bottle!

Love water but not too excited about the horde of loud kids sure to be running around the museum? Lucky you — another watery event’s happening in L.A. on Sunday. Tour the L.A. River with Friends of the Los Angeles River! See the waterway up close, find out about its revitalization plans, and get a lesson on L.A. eco-history. I took the tour a few years back –

This carpool tour will go from the San Fernando Valley to Downtown L.A., with stops for tacos and cream puffs. Meet up Sun. March 14, at 9:30 am at the River Center, 570 W Ave. 26, Los Angeles to form carpools and caravan around until 4 pm. Cost: $25, or $20 for FoLAR members. RSVP required to Shelly at mail@folar.org or 323-223-0585.

If you’d like to celebrate World Water Day by giving money to a good cause, consider FoLAR to benefit a great local nonprofit — or Wherever the Need to benefit an international nonprofit currently involved with relief efforts in Haiti by delivering clean water and sanitation.
