Bridging Communities: A Riverside Celebration

Where Neighbors Become Friends & Fun Meets Nature

Saturday July 26th, 2025

12-4 PM on Driving Park Bridge

 
 

 At Bridging Communities 2024, 600+ neighbors and 30+ local organizations took over Driving Park Bridge and the Maplewood Park Rose Garden to enjoy time outside, learn about the upcoming High Falls State Park, and connect.

Lift Hearts. Inspire Hope. Offer Help. Improve Health.

In partnership with the City of Rochester, we’re taking over Driving Park Bridge again this year to connect even more people and organizations with nature - and each other! If you care about community, this event is where you want to be!
