RiverSing's main goal is to build community through participatory singing in the Parklands, provided free of charge. RiverSing also aims to draw attention to the architectural beauty of the historic bridges that span the Charles River, four of which - Anderson, Weeks, Western Avenue, and River Street - the Conservancy has permanently illuminated in an effort to highlight their aesthetic and historic importance.
