[Members-Only] Earth Day Cleanup with Friends of the Mississippi River (April 18, 2026)

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 14:30:00 GMT

Join us at the Annual River Gorge Earth Day cleanup
with Friends of the Mississippi River

Taking place just off of West River Parkway, this cleanup is an Earth Day tradition in the Minneapolis River Gorge, part of a citywide cleanup effort organized by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. People come from throughout the local river corridor, neighborhoods and metro area — individuals, families, small churches, corporate and student or scout groups — to celebrate Earth Day and contribute to the health and vitality of the Mississippi River. All are welcome! This family-friendly event provides an excellent opportunity to get outside and work together to help improve this beloved area. We've returned to this site year after year and have noticed a dramatic improvement in the area thanks to dedicated volunteers like you.

Longfellow Community Council, the local neighborhood group, supports this event. Longfellow area residents are encouraged to participate! The event is also part of the Gorge Stewards program, which actively engages citizens throughout the Twin Cities in the stewardship of the national treasure that is the Mississippi River Gorge.
