Schuylkill River event goes virtual

Each year the Schuylkill River Sojourn would begin in June at Island Park and finish six days later at Boat House Row in Philadelphia. It wont happen that way this year.

The Schuylkill River Greenways National Heritage Area is helping ease the disappointment with the two-night the 2020 Schuylkill River Virtual Sojourn, a virtual reality presentation that will be live streamed Aug. 9 and

Aug. 16 at 7 p.m.

Joining us for both virtual reality showings will be longtime sojourn guide Matt Stan of Bad Adventures, SRG public relations Miica Patterson said. Although different from previous years, the sojourn will be an unforgettable and adventurous journey of the river.

Viewers can expect to experience the 112-mile guided paddle virtually through documentaries with in-depth interviews, riveting footage of the Schuylkill River, a trivia contest, photo contest and more.

Registration is now open and includes both evenings, and each participant receives a commemorative 2020 Sojourn T-shirt for a cost of $29. Go to http://www.schuylkillriver.org for information and registration.
