Ready for a party? Join us on the newly-expanded Wild Mile for a celebration of our urban waterways and thriving park spaces. Enjoy local beer, food trucks, and an outdoorsy prize drawing while learning about local environmental nonprofits and volunteer opportunities! This event is free and fun for all ages!

The block party is rain-or-shine, and we'll only cancel in the case of hazardous weather!

This year’s community partners include Openlands, Current Water, Chicago Environmentalists, Cleanup Club Chicago, Chicago Ornithological Society, Blazing Star School, Citizens Utility Board, Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail, Global Shapers Chicago, Reduce Waste Chicago, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and Honeycomb Project!
