Saturday’s Ecofest

Mark your calendars: the eighth annual Ecofest that will take over the streets of Downtown Arlington on Saturday, September 17.

The event will kick off at 10 a.m. and the fun will continue until 2 p.m. This free, family-oriented event will take place at Founders Plaza, 100 W. Abram Street.

This year Arlington plans to focus on its ecofriendly exhibitors and education. Ecofest was created to stimulate environmental awareness, build a sense of community, and promote stewardship across North Texas.

The Arlington Parks and Recreation Department has again partnered with Republic Services and other local sponsors to provide a wide range of activities starting at 10 a.m. More than 40 vendors will showcase their green products and services. Classes and demonstrations on environmental awareness will take place throughout the day. Ecofest Arlington will also have many children's activities, including games, crafts, and educational presentations.

Along with these amazing activities, Ecofest Arlington is excited to announce they will be giving away trees again this year while supplies last. Come out and celebrate making a difference in the community!
