Three Rivers Park District: Big Year of Rivers
In 2026, we’ll be celebrating rivers all year long. Rivers connect people, wildlife and whole landscapes. Every Three Rivers park sits in a watershed that drains to a stream or river, so Big Year of Rivers events will take place across the Park District even at locations not directly on a river. Throughout the year, visitors can join our trained naturalists, art educators, outdoor recreation specialists and historical interpreters to learn about and experience the three rivers that inspired our park district name. The Mississippi, Minnesota and Crow rivers along with their watersheds are the focus for a year of speakers, programs and events.
