Join in Oak Park’s celebration of green living at Earth Fest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat., April 27 at the Public Works Center, 201 South Blvd.
Now in its 10th year, the event offers fun for the whole family, including a wide range of activities for kids. Environmentally-conscious residents will be able to engage with more than 50 vendors and organizations providing hands-on activities, environmental services information, free samples and green goods for sale.
Earth Fest also serves as the Public Works Department’s annual open house, with tours of the green-built Public Works facility offered. Guests will be able to check out the honeybee hives on the building’s green roof and get an up-close look at the Village’s big trucks and other equipment during the behind-the-scenes look at what goes into the Public Works Department’s service delivery.
An opportunity to pet and feed goats, a bounce house and a face painter are among the kid-friendly activities planned. The Park District of Oak Park is also expected to be on hand with a pop-up park for kids.
Food trucks from local restaurants are expected to park on South Boulevard, just outside the Public Works Center, and other refreshments will be available.
Earth Fest will once again include an on-site opportunity for residents to recycle eyeglasses, sun glasses and hearing aids, all of which are not eligible for disposal through the Village’s blue bin recycling program.
Residents will also have an opportunity to meet members of the Village Board of Trustees as well as citizen volunteers who serve on the Environment & Energy Commission, which advises the Village Board on issues related to environmental conservation.
