The annual River Cleanup is a core activity of Hudson’s St. Croix RiverFest. Community volunteers get out on the riverbank collecting trash and working to help clean up the river (trash bags will be provided). While the goal of RiverFest is to get people out to enjoy the river, the River Cleanup is the “purpose” for the RiverFest celebration.

Families and individuals are encouraged to join the Cleanup. Please view the River Cleanup Guidelines for instructions and details.

Meet at the Bandshell for the Lakefront Park area cleanup. Please view a map of Cleanup locations.

Business or organizations please contact Buck Malick at 715-386-7010 to pre-register and receive your cleanup locations.

Drop off the trash collected during the River Cleanup from 11am to 12pm at Picnic Point (south end of Lakefront Park).

Following the Cleanup (around 11:30), RiverFest will host a picnic lunch for the Cleanup volunteers at Picnic Point (south end of Lakefront Park).

Thank you to our lunch sponsors: Jerry’s Foods, Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery, Erbert & Gerberts, Kwik Trip, and Rise Baking Company/Best Maid.
