EcoKids: A Fall Earth Day Pensacola Event for Children and Families
Join us for our fourth annual EcoKids event, this year hosted at the beautiful From the Ground Up Community Garden. EcoKids is a mini Earth Day festival focused on getting kids excited to learn more and connect to our Earth!
Multiple nonprofits and educators are coming together to make fun, interactive learning stations, including but not limited to:
- Protecting dune ecosystems with the Dune Defenders!
- Learning about local wildlife with the Wildlife Sanctuary of NW Florida!
- Making art with natural paints and dyes!
- Connecting to the Earth through music with Making Waves Music Therapy!
- And so much more!
Local business AJ’s Market & Ice Cream will be giving away ice cream between 12 – 2 pm!
Thank you AJ’s for being an in-kind sponsor for EcoKids!
Local vegan food truck Pretty Baked will also be at From the Ground Up all day selling yummy sandwiches and other treats!
