EcoFest

APRIL 20 | 10 AM–3 PM | NEWBO CITY MARKET

Join the City of Cedar Rapids in celebrating Earth Month and our GreenCR initiative at EcoFest. The annual festival will be held this year at the NewBo City Market on Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

Enjoy family-friendly activities, educational information, and news on how small changes add up to big differences for our environment. The day focuses on how we can connect our personal choices to individual, community, and planetary sustainability.

Hands-on experiences will include the National Mississippi River Museum’s mobile ocean animal tank, face painting, Monarch habitat creation, raptor demonstrations from Iowa City’s Raptor Advocacy Rehabilitation and Education (RARE) group — and so much more. City staff will also be on hand to share information about our Community Climate Action Plan.
