Eco Experience
A suite of new, interactive exhibits will mark the 100-year anniversary of the first water quality survey of the Mississippi River in 1926, which found a dead ecosystem. Visitors will learn about the incredible work by MPCA and many others to restore the river, and what residents can do to protect the river now and into the future.
This is a recurring event through 9/7/2026.
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
