Organized by KongsiKL in collaboration with property developer EXSIM, the festival aims to connect the public with the river's heritage and environmental health.

Artistic highlights encompass contemporary dance, live music performances, short film screenings, and textile exhibitions, many of which take place in formerly neglected urban spaces.

Most festival events are concentrated within a 1.5km radius around Jalan Klang Lama, including venues such as Dasein Academy, KRF 05 – Camp Water, and Kebun-Kebun Sungai Klang. While the main festival activities are scheduled for the late September and early October weekends, several exhibitions remain open to the public until October 10. Visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing for outdoor activities and prepare for local weather conditions like rain or haze.
