Find an event at Mill River Park

From family-friendly crafts and holiday activities to cornhole league nights and craft beer festivals, there’s always something going on.

We sometimes cancel public programming for inclement weather, including high heat index, poor air quality, thunderstorms, high winds, heavy snow and ice, and extreme windchill.

Please refer to our Facebook and Instagram Stories at least two hours prior to programs for status updates on weather-related public event cancellations or rescheduling.

For general park inquiries, please email info@millriverpark.org.
