WildWalk+WildFest

2026 WildWalk

You’re invited to join the pack on Saturday, April 18: celebrate your connection to the WILD! Dress up as your favorite flora or fauna and walk, hop, or crawl down Higgins Ave towards the XXXX’s!

We’re excited to announce that this year we’ve partnered with the Clark Fork Coalition to ensure that families will be able to participate in both the WildWalk Parade and the Annual Clark Fork River Cleanup! The cleanup will be done by 11:00AM and volunteers will be able to head over to the staging area at Caras Park for the WildWalk to get ready, with the parade starting at 11:30AM.

Learn more about giving back to the beautiful Clark Fork River!

Please view this map for staging instructions.
