Plan the perfect celebration of Mother Earth at the Park Authority’s 2025 Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Sully Historic Site.

Get the whole family involved with an array of offerings sure to excite, educate and entertain! Engage with nature through hands-on activities, burn off some energy with games and challenges, create themed crafts, visit with exhibitors, connect with our four-legged friends and take in some tunes with live music performances!

Here are some Earth Day festivities:

• Play with our animal friends from Frying Pan Farm Park.
• Check out the Wonder Wagon Mobile Nature Center to broaden your understanding of local wildlife, plant life and our ecosystem.
• Enjoy live music from Recycling Pirates, 2ndSole and Proverbs Reggae Band.
• Go for it with physical challenges:
  • Giant rock-climbing wall
  • Nerf archery and golf Puttskee
  • Outdoor ice skating
  • Fitness demonstrations
• Connect with nature through "land" kayaking and camping.
• View insects under the microscope and learn about their impact on farming.

• Create puppets, press flowers in a Cosmic Smash Book, or make sustainable play dough from grain milled at our own Colvin Run Mill.
• Eat, drink and be merry with a variety of vendors to whet your appetite.
• Explore with naturalists: From sighting birds in the treetops with binoculars to Geocaching for treasures.
• Touch-A-Truck: Check out some of the amazing vehicles and machines that help serve our community every day.
