Join Keep Norfolk Beautiful and volunteer groups from across Hampton Roads at Lafayette Park on Friday, March 27 at 10am to kickoff the 2026 GreatEST American Cleanup, a three-month long, national effort to make our community cleaner and greener!

And in 2026, it’s bigger than ever as we commemorate America’s 250th Anniversary.

We will work together to prepare and beautify the park for spring by painting trash cans, tidying up shelters, and of course, cleaning up park litter. We’ll have raffle prizes, music and lots of fun gathering as a group to make a big difference!

Please dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes.

Special thanks to our Kickoff Event partners from WNSB Hot 91.1 and Electrified Marina.
