All are welcome to celebrate the success of the Blackstone River Commons Expedition!

This celebration is generously hosted by Narragansett Brewing. We will feature a screening of the short film Kittacuck Speaks and the Rhode Island School of Design will bring a mobile letter press.

Several speakers will make commemorative remarks, including RI Senator Jack Reed, EPA Regional Administrator David Cash, RI Dept of Environmental Management Terry Gray, and Narragansett Bay Estuary Program Executive Director Mike Gerel.

From 5-7pm, the folk/bluegrass group Hollow Turtle will perform live.

The Blackstone River Commons Group will paddle 60 miles over 4 days from Worcester, MA to Providence, RI, to bring attention to the challenges the Blackstone River faces and our opportunities for action. Learn more about the expedition here.
