RiverLink hosts Earth Day kids’ Festival
Asheville, NC – On Saturday, April 23, RiverLink will celebrate Earth Day by hosting a festival for kids and families sponsored by FLS Energy and the Eco-Depot Marketplace. The event will go from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at RiverLink’s Sculpture Plaza, 144 Riverside Drive in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC (map). Parking will be available right next door. This event is free to the public and open to anyone with a love for our planet Earth.
The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970 to celebrate our Earth and the wonders it provides, as well as to recognize and address the problems facing it. RiverLink’s event will continue this tradition by hosting many of the environmental organizations of WNC. There will be live birds from Wild for Life, puppies from Brother Wolf, plants from Sow True Seed & Bee City and recycling with Asheville GreenWorks. The goal is to introduce kids to all aspects of nature and conservation in a fun and engaging way.
The event will also feature giant puppet performers, a bounce castle, crafts from Macaroni Kids & Easel Rider, a scavenger hunt and more. Food will be available for purchase from Amazing Pizza Co. Belly Up and The Hop Ice Cream.
