The annual Earth Day Festival of the Downtown Mechanicsburg Partnership will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 15 along Market Street, with live music, belly dancers, fresh food, games and family-friendly activities, a rain barrel silent auction and more. Vendors will be selling a variety of eco-friendly products.

 

The Rosemary House owner and Earth Day organizer Susanna Reppert says, “Our goal this year is to raise awareness of sustainable choices that are available to consumers right here in central Pennsylvania. The event will be fun, but also informative to help residents make eco-friendly decisions today and in the future.”
