In addition to all the fun and excitement, Earth Day Fairfax is all about teaching new skills and simple tricks you can do at home that have a huge impact on the world outside. Join us at Sully Historic Site on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the county’s largest Earth Day celebration.

Since 1970, Earth Day has been an annual celebration that raises awareness of the need to protect Earth's natural resources for future generations. Fairfax County’s Earth Day Festival creates the perfect environment for children and adults of all ages to expand their knowledge about the world around us through games, activities and hands-on exploration. Here’s just a few topics you can expect at this year’s Earth Day Festival:

• Strategies to grow bigger, better plants
• Information for identifying and getting rid of invasive plants
• Ways insects help the environment
• Effect of erosion on archaeology
• How to use a historic corn grinder
• History through activities
• Composting

With live music, outdoor ice skating, the popular touch-a-truck exhibit and more, this is a learning experience you don’t want to miss. Admission to the event is free, but there is a parking fee of $10 per vehicle. 

Sully Historic Site is located at 3650 Historic Sully Way in Chantilly. For more information about the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Earth Day Festival, visit the Earth Day website.
