The City of Pittsburg will host the Green Footprint Festival on Thursday, June 12th in Small World Park. The event will run from 11 AM to 3 PM, and will celebrate the many aspects of living “green” with a lighter footprint on the Earth. Everyone is a child at the Green Footprint Festival with a special admission fee of $2.00 per person for all ages.
The Festival will feature: “Dr. Solar’s Good Time, Sunshine, Traveling Medicine Show” with magic, comedy and ventriloquism performed at his solar powered gypsy wagon at 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM; kids’ crafts with reused materials by East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse; Story Time with Super Heroes at Noon, 1:00 and 2:00 pm; and interactive kids’ activities throughout the park with many green community organizations. The park will be filled with educational exhibits for both kids and adults, highlighting topics like recycling, saving energy and water, wildlife and parks, watersheds, and alternative transportation. Kids will receive an event “passport” to get stamped in exchange for door prizes.
Admission on the day of the Green Footprint Festival will be $2.00 for everyone, and $1.25 additional for ride wristbands. This celebration marks the beginning of the park’s summer season. Small World Park will be open Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
