Thanks to a bit of rain turning things soggy at Rock Quarry Park, the City of Durham‘s Earth Day Festival was held at the Holton Career and Resource Center and encouraged families to celebrate “going green” with an afternoon of live music, food and fun. Those who came out had the chance to take part in a sustainability expo, shop from an Earth Day market and create crafts in the kids’ zone. The latter featured hands-on activities presented by Music Explorium, The Home Depot, Frog Hollow Outdoors, Museum of Life and Science, City of Durham Fire Department and Schoolhouse of Wonder. The event, sponsored by Durham Parks and Recreation in partnership with Keep Durham Beautiful, culminated with the annual Earth Day Parade.
