TreeFest
April 13, 2024
At Petersburg Park - 11AM-3PM
TreeFest is Louisville's annual Arbor Day celebration that provides community members with information on the roles trees play in our lives through creative, informative, and fun-filled activities and events for people of all ages.
This year we will engage volunteers to plant and mulch trees in a park as well as offer family friendly activities, eco-friendly vendor booths, a tree giveaway, and the opportunity to learn from different “green” organizations in our city. Live music, food and drinks are also available making for an ideal afternoon to sit in a park and take in the scenery.
