Autumn events along the river
 Upcoming events such as
Wilderness Inquiry Great River Race allow participants to paddle together for a
meaningful purpose.
The hot days of summer may
have passed, but there’s still lots of fun to be had outdoors. Here’s a look at
some great events coming up on the Mississippi riverfront:
Paddle with a group down a
beautiful stretch of the Mississippi in 24-foot Voyageur canoes led by experts
at Wilderness Inquiry. Funds raised will benefit the outdoor education program,
Canoemobile Minnesota.
Celebrate our parks and
the Mississippi by bringing family and friends to Hidden Falls National Park
for free outdoor activities like fishing, climbing, archery, and more.
Experience
larger-than-life puppetry, drama, dance, stilting, fire, and music in honor of
fall and the Halloween season. An annual tradition for more than 20 years, this
show is appropriate for all ages.
Visit our upcoming
events page for more
outing ideas this fall.

About the Great River Passage
In 2013 the City of Saint Paul
developed the Great River Passage Plan, a comprehensive framework for creating
vibrancy in the city’s 3,500 acres of parkland along the river. The Saint Paul
Parks and Recreation Department is now implementing the next phase of the Great
River Passage – a bold, strategic vision to steward and tap into the potential
of the 26 miles of riverfront in Saint Paul. By implementing the plan, the city
will create places and activities that strengthen existing connections and
create new ones along the Mississippi. Learn more at GreatRiverPassage.org.
