Dozens of families made their way to Tattnall Square Park on Wednesday, April 20 to celebrate our Earth! Macon-Bibb County held its Earth Day Festival for the first time since the pandemic, and it was filled with different activities for everyone in the family.  

The Mulberry Market returned with local vendors with fresh produce and other handmade goods.  

There were four bicycle giveaways for children, physical fitness and wellness activities, free t-shirts for kids who completed the Kids Zone activities, free Pickleball play at the Tattnall Square Tennis and Pickleball Center, live music from The Dubshak Reggae Band, and local animal groups with friendly creatures for everyone to meet.  

“We are thrilled to be back celebrating Earth Day in Macon-Bibb County! So many children were able to learn about the world around us, how to take pride in it, and especially how to take care of it,” said Earth Day Festival Co-Coordinator Rachel Gambill. “We want adults to follow suit from our youngest citizens!” 

The goal was also to provide educational vendors set up so everyone could learn about different green initiatives in our community. Thank you to everyone who made the festival a success!
