Celebrate the Mississippi River Gorge at the annual Longfellow River Gorge Festival!

This community celebration will include free ice cream, canoe rides, live music and more. Come meet FMR staff at our info table, and join some of our top Mississippi River Gorge Stewards volunteers on walking tours of the nearby oak savanna so you can see the progress of recent restoration at this site.
