Join the Mid Willamette Outreach Group for the, Our River Celebration (formerly known as Stream Celebration) at Minto-Brown Island Park. This free, family-friendly event invites people of all ages to explore and learn about our local rivers, streams, and waterways through hands-on activities and interactive stations.

Visitors can learn about water quality, salmon and other aquatic life, native plants, and river habitats while discovering simple ways to help protect local waterways. The event is designed as a relaxed, move-at-your-own-pace experience focused on connecting the community with the Willamette River, our nearby streams, and the environment we all share. Representatives from the City of Salem Clean Streams Crew will also be onsite to provide local watershed updates and resources.

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate and learn more about the rivers and streams that support our community.

The event will be held at the Minto Brown Island Park Pavillion. As you enter the park, continue straight until the road ends, where there is a designated parking area located nearest the Pavillion.
