Our annual gala, An Upstream Soiree, on Thursday, October 1, 2026 is extra special this year as we celebrate 25 years of community-driven restoration, stewardship, and advocacy along the Bronx River. 

25 years ago, the Bronx River was a neglected, abandoned, dumping ground. Today, it is a thriving natural recreational, educational, and ecological resource for thousands of Bronx residents each year.

This year’s gala is both a celebration of the progress made and an opportunity to invest in the future of the Bronx River together!

The Bronx River Alliance connects thousands of Bronx families and young people to the beautiful, one-of-a-kind natural spaces we steward and activate. Your support sustains these unique green and blue spaces and ensures that everyone can access and enjoy nature close to home!

We look forward to celebrating the Bronx River and its unique parks, Greenway, and Foodway with you!
