Description
The Current is Conservation Resource Alliance’s newly reimagined biennial celebration, bringing together supporters, community leaders, conservation advocates, and partners to celebrate the impact of our collective work across Northern Michigan.
Taking place on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 4:00–7:00 p.m. at The Cathedral Barn at Historic Barns Park in Traverse City, this special evening will feature dinner, an open bar, live entertainment, and inspiring stories of river restoration and community conservation.
Formerly known as our Friends & Partners Celebration, The Current reflects the momentum that drives our work forward.
