The Twin Cities stretch of the river is also a national park.

REI is throwing a big party for our local national park, complete with adventure and gear tips, give-aways, a water bar featuring water from different national parks in our region, and not one but three film screenings:
• "Minnesota's National Park Legacy," 5:30 p.m. 
• "The St. Croix: A Northwoods Journey," 6:30 p.m.
• And FMR's brand new film "Rebirth: The Mississippi's National Park," 7:30 p.m.

Film screenings seating will be first-come, first-serve. Registration is required and appreciated so that REI can make sure there's plenty of refreshments. 

Can't make it?

FMR's new film airs on TPT, Sunday, May 1, 7 p.m. 

We'd also be happy to email you about future screenings, DVDs or online viewing opportunities as they become available.

Friends of the Mississippi River is proud to be a part of the National Park Service Centennial celebration and a longtime REI partner!
