Lakewood Earth Day Celebration

Special activities will happen throughout the day-- here are a few highlights! 

Check back for regular updates and additions!

For the first time ever, you can join an Earth Day "Parade of Species."  Kids, adults, and pets are invited to bring or wear your favorite animal costume (or make an animal mask at the event), decorate your wagons and strollers, bring or make a drum or other instrument and march through our event in celebration of all of the animal species with whom we share the earth.

Meet at 3 p.m. near the gazebo to line up for the parade.

Music will be provided by Rocky Mountain Steel Band (11 a.m.-noon), ATOMGA (1-3 p.m.) and Guerilla Fanfare Brass Band (4-6 p.m.)
