Community Calendar

Join Idaho Rivers United, 94.9 The River, and Idaho River Sports for our Annual End of Float Season Cleanup on September 14th!

We're inviting 250 volunteers to join us and help clean a longer stretch of the Boise River, extending from Barber Park to the Garden City Library. Volunteer's efforts will have a massive impact, helping keep the Boise River clean and healthy for all.

This event isn't just a cleanup—it's a party! After all the hard work, stick around for a community celebration and afterparty hosted by 94.9 The River and Idaho River Sports. We'll have vendors, delicious food trucks, refreshing shaved ice, lively music, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and trash themed games. Plus, as a thank you for your hard work, all volunteers will be entered into a raffle for some great prizes! And that's not all—Idaho River Sports is offering special in-store discounts and discounts on rentals just for volunteers, and they'll be donating 10% of all in-store sales to Idaho Rivers United.
