The Milwaukee Riverkeeper Boat Parade is a celebration of Milwaukee's waterways, hosted by Milwaukee Riverkeeper. It melds art, music, nature and environmental advocacy. This year's theme is: An active river is a happy river. This event features eleven parade floats that really FLOAT made by local artists, a musical performance and a guest appearance from Mermaid Echo.

The parade is viewable from the Riverwalk, Pere Marquette Park or any of Milwaukee's riverfront restuarants and breweries. It it a FREE, fun way to get outside and enjoy the early fall weather.
