According to a news release, the 37th Annual Earth Day Festival is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bayview Park.
Attendees can expect environmental education, art, live music, local food, and hands-on activities.
“I love that we have so many local vendors with earth-friendly hand-crafted items,” Earth Day Pensacola publicity coordinator Christian Wagley said. “These are things like art and personal care products that people make in their kitchens and home workshops. It’s so great to support our local artisans and craftspeople. And of course I love the food. We’ll have amazing planet-friendly food from several local sources. One of the fun new elements this year is a repair cafe pop-up offering clothing/soft goods and ceramic repairs.”
