  • Young Birders Club: Waterfowl

    Mississippi Gateway Regional Park 10360 W River Rd, Brooklyn Park, MN, United States

    The ice is thawing, and birds are migrating north along the Mississippi River. This is just the right time to be out looking for ducks, mergansers and other water birds! All materials provided.

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.
