A group of over a dozen organizations, loosely named the Lincoln Creek Greenway Workgroup, are excited to announce the 2026 Lincoln Creek Week. The Lincoln Creek Workgroup, and various community partners, will host a week of free, fun and family-friendly activities for all ages, including paddling, biking, hiking and more. Organizations will activate various areas of the city of Milwaukee with the hopes to help residents reimagine and celebrate the beauty of the Lincoln Creek Greenway.

The week will kick off with a community picnic celebration on Saturday, June 20th from 12-3pm at McGovern Park and close on Saturday, June 27th from 12-3 at Lincoln Park. Each event will feature nature- based activities, information from community partners, prizes, giveaways, free food and more. During Lincoln Creek Week, community partners will offer activities such as learning to kayak, educational nature presentations, volunteer service opportunities, a bird walk, and a bike ride.

All events are free and open to the public. Some events require registration. A full list of events and registration links are below and on the Nearby Nature web page, or at this link: www.bit.ly/CreekWeek26
