Get ready to embrace green living, because San Antonio Parks and Recreation has announced an Earth Day celebration to remember. Set at the lush Woodlawn Lake Park, this event is not just any Saturday plan – it's an eco-friendly extravaganza complete with over 70 community partners, and it's absolutely free. Families can mark their calendars for April 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., to enjoy everything from tree giveaways to performances that will get you moving. According to the city's announcement, this shindig is part of the official Fiesta event lineup.
Let's expect to absolutely have a blast with hands-on activities for the kiddos, dance to some sweet tunes, engage in a spot of fishing, or work up a sweat with various fitness challenges. The event is sponsored by heavy hitters like H-E-B, Rambler Sparkling Water, and Lettuce Grow. And hey, the city's not just talking the eco-talk, they're walking the walk with free Rambler Sparkling Water and plant-centric eats to purchase from local favs like Elotitos Corn Bar and Fat Tummy Empanadas.
But this Earth Day bash isn't just about fun and games. It’s a chance to show some serious love to our planet. Sustainability is the star of the show, with organizers urging attendees to bring reusable water bottles to quench their thirst at refill stations, cutting down on single-use plastics. The food vendors are in on it too, dishing out their goodies with compostable or biodegradable materials. The mantra is simple: reduce waste, so bring your own bags and containers if you can help it.
And because every family member counts, your leashed four-legged pals are also welcome. Just be sure to pack a bowl and waste bags. In the spirit of reducing emissions, consider to bravely opt for public transportation or carpooling. It's all about making small changes for a big impact. Don't just sit there – the Earth won't save itself. Join the party at Woodlawn Lake Park, celebrate the planet, and be part of the change.
