The Longfellow River Gorge festival is one of Longfellow Community Council’s longest running annual events. Each fall we honor and celebrate the Mississippi River, its history, and its vital ongoing importance to humans and wildlife. The festival educates the community about the River’s functions and ecology in a fun and approachable way, focusing on restoration and conservation. Each year features organized canoe rides on the river, guided tours and hikes, ice cream, music, and many organizations sharing about their work — all FREE!
Each year, Brown’s Creek Watershed District Partners with Sustainable Stillwater MN and their Bird City Group to put on a community event, bringing in community members to celebrate and learn more about the watershed. This event, taking place in Stillwater, brings in partners and volunteers to table about different environmental topics including water quality, macroinvertebrates, native plants, and fish and wildlife. It is a family friendly event with games, crafts, free ice cream, and live music as well.
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.
