34th Annual Chicago River Day set for May 9

The 34th annual Chicago River Day will take place from 9 a.m. - noon on Saturday, May 9. Every year since 1992, Friends of the Chicago River partners with community leaders, municipalities, and landowners to host our largest volunteer stewardship day of the year, Chicago River Day. Volunteers build community and improve our rivers and public spaces by cleaning up harmful litter, mulching trails, and removing invasive plants.

At this watershed-wide cleanup, thousands of community members, families, and companies work in and along the 156-mile Chicago-Calumet River system at over 80 locations throughout the city and suburbs.

The Village will have two locations taking part in Chicago River Day, one at Techny Basin and the other in Downtown Glenview. To learn more and to register for one of the sites, visit chicagoriver.org/get-involved/volunteer/chicago-river-day
