The celebration will close a portion of North 21st Street from Transformation Drive to Salt Creek Roadway. Those arriving in a vehicle should enter and exit the event at North Antelope Valley Parkway and Transformation Drive. Free vehicle parking will be available in the parking lot north of Nebraska Innovation Campus. In case of inclement weather, the event will be held in the Nebraska Innovation Campus building.
Those attending will get to listen to live music, watch a sustainability panel discussion and spend the day learning about how Lincoln reuses its resources.
Lincoln Earth Day Coalition member Brittney Albin encourages those attending to come out and listen to live music, watch a sustainability panel discussion and spend the day learning about how Lincoln reuses its resources at the celebration. “We are so excited to coordinate this community celebration of Earth Day that showcases the many environmental organizations doing great work in our community all year long,” Albin says.
The event will also include more than 50 booth exhibitors and food vendors, a green vehicle showcase and an interactive kids corner.
