The 2025 Rock Creek Alliance Annual Party

It’s that time again!  Think summer and fun, and join us at Matchwood Brewery in Sandpoint as we celebrate our beautiful Lake and Wilderness on Thursday, July 17th from 5 to 8:30 pm.  While you enjoy a locally crafted brew, learn more about our efforts to protect Lake Pend Oreille and the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness.  We will have an information table, board members eager to answer questions, and an update on our progress and the latest challenges.  Local businesses and artisans are generously donating unique and hand-crafted products and services for our silent auction. Bidding in our auction is a great way to support our work and find that certain must-have item. We also will have shirts, hats, and wine glasses available for purchase.  A party isn’t a party without good music and we are happy to announce that Headwaters will be performing again this year.  This is an event you won’t want to miss!   As always, our party is free and open to the public.  We hope you can come and bring a friend or two!
