What is Creek Week?
The 2022 Creek Week takes place September 24, 2022 to October 2, 2022. To register or for more information, please visit the Fountain Creek Week website.
Creek Week is a 9-day, watershed-wide litter and debris collection event that takes place at the end of September and beginning of October. Service groups, neighborhood associations, scouts, schools, churches, and individuals all donate their time to help clean up the Fountain Creek Watershed. The event is also a chance to raise awareness about the watershed, our water supply, the district and the littering issue to make our communities cleaner, safer and more beautiful.
