Event Info/Details: bit.ly/norwalkearthday
Many local organizations, civic institutions, and houses of worship around the Norwalk Town Green have collaborated to organize a celebration of our shared values! These combined efforts have brought our vibrant community together in celebration of Mother Earth!
A 12pm Noon program on the Norwalk Green will feature remarks by city officials, community song, a Native American reading, nature movement, and a roll-call of organizations.
The event will include a children’s nature activity, a DPW tree-planting, and a drum circle to conclude!
Food trucks, as well as a mobile bike repair station, and a giant heron sculpture will be on site.
Get in the Earth Day spirit by reducing your “footprint” on the way!
