An Evening Celebrating the Mississippi River
Join us for the Big River's biggest night as we celebrate its bounty and the myriad ways its steadfast presence enriches our lives. From our historic venue on the Minneapolis riverfront, we will savor seasonal fare, enjoy refreshing drinks, and connect with our community of river supporters. The evening's entertainment includes a river-themed auction, live music, and interactive learning exhibits.

This year's program will feature presentations of our new and inspiring work to achieve our vision of a transformed and thriving Mississippi River - our river - with clean and healthy waters, a vibrant watershed resilient to climate change, and diverse, engaged communities caring for its future.
Funds raised from this evening support our mission to protect, restore, and enhance the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities region.
