TreeFest is Louisville’s Arbor Day celebration, bringing the community together to explore the essential role trees play in our lives. This family-friendly event is packed with creative, engaging, and fun activities for all ages.
This year’s festivities include hands-on opportunities to plant and mulch trees in Petersburg Park, a tree giveaway, and eco-friendly vendor booths. Attendees can enjoy live music, delicious food and drinks, and activities for everyone! Learn from “green” organizations making an impact in our city, and connect with nature while soaking in the beauty of the park.
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating trees, community, and sustainability!
