|  Festivals, festivals, festivals. They are all over the Corridor. This weekend is no different – so what is the celebration, you ask? It’s EcoFest , the premier Earth Day event in Eastern Iowa! This year’s theme is Good Green Fun , and it will be! If you haven’t seen the line-up of events, you are missing out! Here’s a quick glance at the activities:- Hot glass blowing demonstration
- Recycled iron pour
- Music all day long
- Tribal dancing
- I-Green-CR EcoFest Vendor Fair
- Sustainable/recycled fashion workshop
- Altered books workshop
- STEMulation Station kids’ workshop
- Race to Clean Up CR
- EcoLips Bike Ride
- Healthy Counties/Healthy Families 5k Walk/Run
And that is not all. All events can be found on the EcoFest website:www.ecofestcr.wordpress.com. One of the neat things about this festival (similar to many of the festivals organized in the Corridor) is that it is organized by a partnership of 15+ different eco/art organizations. Almost all of the events are free. There are activities for adults and children. Get out this weekend on Saturday, April 21st in the NewBo neighborhood of downtown Cedar Rapids and join in for some Good Green Fun! |
