The Big Fish Ball engages community partners, corporate sponsors, educators, and more to support Friends of the Chicago Rivers mission: to protect and restore the Chicago-Calumet River System for all people, water, and wildlife.
The 2026 Big Fish Ball will be held on Thursday, April 16, from 6-8 p.m.
Since 1979, Friends has been working to improve the health of the Chicago River system for the benefit of people and wildlife and by doing so, has laid the foundation for the river to be a beautiful, continuous, easily accessible corridor of open space in the Chicago region.
