The 2018 Macon-Bibb County Earth Day Festival is happening from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, at Tattnall Square Park. The global theme for Earth Day this year is preventing plastic pollution.

As always, it’s free to attend and enjoy an array of hands-on experiences for your whole family. The Mulberry Market will be set up for shoppers to pick up locally grown produce, handmade goods, and more. If you purchase a $10 Macon-Bibb Earth Day t-shirt, you’ll receive a free $5 token to use with any of the Mulberry Market vendors.

In addition to wellness and physical fitness events, there will be a kids zone set up with games, projects, activities and giant murals for kids of all ages to color. Visit our welcome tent to get a free ticket for our bike giveaway. We’re giving away two adult bikes with helmets, and two child bikes with helmets. Get your ticket by 5:55 to be eligible for the giveaway.

You can get up close and personal with snakes and spiders thanks to the Southeastern Reptile Rescue, and vendors will be set up to teach you how to recycle, garden, and take care of the world around us.
