It’s time to get out and learn how you can impact the revitalization of the Mississippi riverfront in Minneapolis! The 2011 ‘Great River Outings' and events series, sponsored by Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership, offers unique walking tours, diverse forums based on Mississippi river issues and entries into exclusive spaces that neighbor the River. On this outing, walk to the Mississippi River from the heart of the Old Highland neighborhood, right after their annual meeting and potluck.

Sponsored in partnership with the Old Highland Neighborhood Organization. At each Great River Outing event, guides with experience in fields like ecology, history, community planning and preservation will tell the ‘stories behind the story’ and give participants a greater understanding of how the community can facilitate and support coordinated revitalization of the Mississippi riverfront in Minneapolis.

Tours and events will be held regardless of inclement weather. Participants are strongly urged to pre- register online; however, when space allows we will accept last minute additions at the tour starting points. Pre-registration and more information.
