The Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project, now in its fifth year, helps keep beaches, rivers and lakes across America “barefoot friendly.”

In 2011, Barefoot Wine and the Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches, along with community volunteers, are embarking on a tour of 20 cleanups nationwide, kicking off in our nation’s capital at Anacostia Park. Following the cleanup, which will take place at Anacostia Park Saturday morning, volunteers 21+ are invited to attend a Surfrider-hosted celebration featuring Barefoot Wine, surf-inspired fare and a live music performance by Brett Dennen.
