Join us for Anacortes Earth Day!
Anacortes Earth Day is returning to Commercial Ave on April 24th & 25th!
Come downtown to Commercial Ave and take part in two days of joy, art, music, and education as we honor and celebrate our natural environment from the forest to the sea!
In 2024, Friends of the ACFL excitedly joined the Anacortes Earth Day planning committee, taking over the environmental fair portion of the festival. The last two events we have helped organize filling the street with local organizations, groups, and businesses who prioritize the earth, hosting free activities, giveaways, demonstrations, and crafts.
Beyond just organizing the fair, our Forest Discovery Center is once again the heart of it! We will be opening our doors and hosting a free DIY projectto make pollinator puddlers (pictured later in this email)! Stop in and explore our exhibits, shop our merch, talk to our staff, and celebrate Earth Day with Friends of the ACFL!
All activities for the entire weekend are free, and everyone is welcome!
