Join the Celebration and Party for the Planet
Earth Day isn’t just about wearing green and recycling your cans—it’s about rolling up your sleeves and making a real difference. On Saturday, April 25th, from 10 AM to 2 PM, Sioux Falls is doing just that with Party for the Planet at Sertoma Park.
This community-wide celebration brings together families, conservation groups, and outdoor enthusiasts for a morning of action and adventure along the Big Sioux River. And the best part? Everyone who participates receives a special ticket for $1 off admission to the Great Plains Zoo or Butterfly House & Aquarium!

Clean Up, Show Up, Make an Impact
The heart of the event is a Big Sioux River clean-up from 10 AM to noon, hosted by the Sioux Falls Zoo and Butterfly House & Aquarium, Friends of the Big Sioux River (FBSR), and the Outdoor Campus.
Party for the Planet is part of a larger campaign focused on bringing communities together to create healthier habitats – and there’s no better way to celebrate Earth Day than by protecting one of Sioux Falls’ most important natural resources. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or trying your hand at conservation for the first time, this is your chance to make a real difference in your own backyard.
More Than Just a Clean-Up
But Party for the Planet isn’t all work and no play. The Outdoor Campus will be hosting open house fishing, giving families a chance to cast a line and enjoy the river they’re helping to protect. It’s a perfect introduction to outdoor recreation for kids and adults alike…
