Hudson County officials will host a free, family-friendly Earth Day celebration next month in Jersey City, offering residents a day of activities, education, and community engagement.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lincoln Park and is open to the public.
According to information released by county officials, the event will feature a variety of activities for all ages, including bouncy houses, a live DJ, photo opportunities with children’s characters, and recycled arts and crafts.
Attendees can also visit vendor tables hosted by local organizations and county departments offering information, resources, and giveaways.
A highlight of this year’s event includes the debut of a “Weather Bus,” designed to educate visitors about climate change, along with an expanded petting zoo featuring pony rides.
This year’s theme, “Our Future, Our Planet,” is intended to emphasize the connection between environmental health and the well-being of communities and future generations.
Free giveaways will include plants, reusable bags, and other environmentally friendly items while supplies last.
The event is being hosted by Hudson County Executive Craig Guy in partnership with the Hudson County Improvement Authority.
No registration is required to attend.
