Description

Join us for a different kind of mixer where you can demo drive a Rivian and learn about current projects at Urban Rivers across the city.

Urban Rivers embodies a mission aligned with Mappy Hour as they work to 'Transform city rivers into wildlife sanctuaries to provide spaces where people of all backgrounds can connect with nature in new and innovative ways.'

Volunteers and staff will share information about the current projects happening at various points along the Chicago River. Then, you'll have the opportunity to create seed bombs with native plant species that participants can use to positively impact the urban ecology on their next visit to a local waterway.

As we continue to mingle, visitors will have the chance to learn about wilderness water purification at various stations. Drinks and Rivian demos will continue until the event concludes.

About Rivian

When the first R1Ts rolled off the line in late 2021, early reviews were rapturous. The phrase “game changer” was bandied about a lot. Motor Trend named it truck of the year. Rivian, a new manufacturer, can’t run the production lines fast enough to keep up with its 90,000-plus pre-orders.

The excitement makes sense. The R1T is a mid-size, all-electric pick-up at a time when gas prices are punishing. It’s a luxury truck tailor-made for off-road adventures, complete with absurd bells and whistles like a built-in kitchen, a masterful four-wheel drive unlike any you’ve heard of, and mind-boggling storage capacity—all without wrecking the climate and ruining the natural spaces you want to explore.
