The annual Earth Day Festival will be held Saturday downtown at the Children’s Museum and Armory Park.

The Tucson Earth Day Festival celebration runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 21 at the downtown Children’s Museum Tucson and Armory Park at 200 S. Sixth Avenue.

The festival is free, open to the public and dozens of exhibitors will provide interactive hands-on activities, sharing information and displays related to transportation choices, native plants, healthy air, water conservation, sustainability, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and more eco-minded topics. Numerous opportunities will be available to discover how helping the planet helps you, too.

Since April is Bike Fest month, organizers suggest riding your bike to the event and safely park at the free Bike Valet Parking area. For those not up for riding a bike or driving downtown, the Sun Link Streetcar and Ronstadt Transit Center are a short walk away from the festivities.

The Children’s Museum Tucson will be free for the day (adults must be accompanied by children, and children must be supervised by adults). The Department of Enviromental Quality, along with other Pima County departments, sponsors the Tucson Earth Day Festival to promote a healthy, sustainable community. Stop by PDEQ’s booth to play the Spin & Learn Wheel of Wisdom to test your environmental acumen and win a prize.
