Celebrating 25 years of turning local places into special spaces.

25 years ago, people voted to invest in a vision for a vibrant region connected by greenway trails. With 135 miles (and counting!), Great Rivers Greenway wants to celebrate the community’s vision, the progress to date, and 25 years of turning input into impact with YOU. Gather round this 1,500-foot table for a milestone meal and free fun for all ages!
