Citywide Celebration: Stadium Parade and GIVE Gathering
The 100 Years of Inspiring Each Citywide Celebration, initially planned for last spring, has been rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 28! This date was intentionally chosen to take place during Homecoming weekend — so if you’ve got Eagles alumni in your family, bring them along to this celebratory event!
Here’s what you need to know:

You’ll see representatives from each of our schools and the Eden Prairie Historical Society, plus performances from student groups including Eagle Band, Cheer and more! There is no charge to enjoy this event.
- Community Education’s yearly GIVE Gathering will take place from noon to 1 p.m., sharing resources and volunteer opportunities.
- Food trucks will be on site from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Concessions will be open.
- Parking will be available at EPHS.

This year, the GIVE Gathering will take place as part of a larger community celebration in conjunction with homecoming weekend.

ABOUT THE EVENT: Since 2016, we've been excited to co-host the annual GIVE Gathering, which is a collaborative effort put on by the City of Eden Prairie, the Eden Prairie Community Foundation, and Eden Prairie Schools Community Education. This free event is an easy way for community members to explore volunteer opportunities for the entire family and all wonderful programs and services available to those who call Eden Prairie home.
We hope you are able to join us, whether you are looking for resources for your family, seeking volunteers to support your organization, or are looking for ways to give back and get involved in our Eden Prairie community!
