Community Events

Tri-CAP hosts community events to introduce local residents to the Malden River  Tri-CAP’s events include educational workshops, fun activities, and clean ups.   We have found that, when people have positive, meaningful experiences along the river, they  are more likely to care about it and take part in efforts to reduce pollution and advocate for improvements.

Our big annual event, cosponsored with the Preotle Lane & Associates, is the Malden River Festival at the Park at River’s Edge. An estimated 1,000 people attended the first three River Festivals.  Check out pictures from the 3rd Annual River Festival.

Some of our events include:

  • Earth Day Clean Ups
  • Walking tours along the Malden River
  • Malden River Design Forum with the Boston Architectural Center
  • Malden Documentary Screening at the Tufts Boathouse

    I wanted to send an email to you to tell you what an outstanding employee you have in Shawn Gallagher. My grandmother from Medford, MA is 93 years old and is on Tri-Cap Fuel Assistance and had an issue with a boiler needing to be replaced. Her oil company is Federal Heating. When I called Tri-Cap and spoke with Shawn, he took the time on a Friday afternoon to do his best to help us out. He really followed through and got the boiler replaced for her by Tuesday of the next week. He went to my grandmother’s house and really made her feel comfortable and kept her nerves at ease.
